Like you Paul, I've owned both in the past. I do own GFF, POL, and ICOC, now. SHLM and SEH still on the watch list.

I believe your a dead on, on the exposure to oil prices. I have been wrong on that also, but what I do believe in this regard to oil exposed cost structured industries. They will all be stronger this time around in a recovery. Just in time inventories, industry consolidation, will help them maintain and possibly expand profit margins when demand picks up.

I must also mention. I have no exposure to oil stocks currently. I've never owned a pure play airline stock (EVER)(air freight forwarders yes). In all my investing years. The only financial industry exposure I've had are a few regional bank stocks, and one financial stock named McDonald that was acquired by Key bank. Although diversified, I am weighted and at the mercy of stocks exposed to economically exposed downturns. That must be why I like value stocks and why value investing take patience. <G>
