Lucas Energy, Inc. Common Stock (AMEX: LEI)- Added 20% to shares already held Samson Oil & Gas Limited Sponso (AMEX: SSN) - Added 10% to shares already held GreenHunter Energy Inc Common s (AMEX: GRH) - Started initial position
With Oil near a 6 month low @ $92.62/barrel, added to my E&P basket with more LEI and SSN. Will continue to buy more oil stocks as oil moves lower. The wild card is if China slows down more than already reported, oil could trade well into the $80's for an extended period of time. The current oil price drop represent a 2/3 re-tracement from this year's high.
MHR closed their $450M senior bond financing. As a result, I decided to buy into GreenHunter Energy Inc (GRH) that provides water treatment services to MHR. As it is also controlled by CEO Evans, I suspect, GRH will get most if not all of MHR's business. In the disclosure below, MHR has a full check book to complete their wells w/ their CAPX budget now financed to $325M.
