I noticed that COP is at a 52wk low. This is one I eventually want to add to but I am waiting for oil to trade lower with the expectations of a slowing economy.

Taking out the net debt of this entity you get an equity value ofabout 2.7 billion. 75% of this value ($30-$31 per share) goes to the 63million shares owned by DryShips shareholders post closing and post spinoff. ..."
