Rose; The offshore oil field has been my life for over
20 years. I've seen them come and go twice, and I can't
count how many small companies went bankrupt, or chapter
11, the drillers and service people get killed the
worse if the oil glut stays, and if production is cut to
reduce the glut that makes things even worse down
the road.
Many of the BIG names you see today are companies
that went to nothing at one time, when the banks
got through with them the stock holders got zero.
I would not touch this sector with a ten foot
pole until I saw Asia getting on it's feet,
of all sectors that Asia will effect this one is
the worst it just hasn't come home yet.
