Thanks Marc. I am trying to figure this sector out, and have done nothing but lose money. I usually don't venture into new sectors without knowing anything about it, but I listened to analysts and portfolio managers. I wanted to diversify into a high-growth area, other than tech and health care.

When I lose money in a sector I understand, at least I can make a rational decision to trade. This sector's stock prices are ruled by a factor that I don't completely understand - the price of crude.

I have A LOT to learn, and this thread has been helpful. There is a lot of knowledge here.

I'll hold for a while longer, but I hate to have dead money right now. There are too many opportunities.

Still learning.

Todd
