Razor,
Perhaps I am in denial.
Or perhaps, I am trying to add some balance to this thread. I have stated my position. I just happen to think that it is still ok to believe in people. We are at a point in time where it is all too easy to be negative. The stock has not performed as oil prices have reached all time lows.
I apologize for my "intense" emotional post. I am very emotional at the present time.
I am sorry if calling you "cynical" hurt your feelings, too. Being a cynic isn't a terrible thing, especially if you are right. I am truly happy for you that you have made money trading the stock as you have. I just happen to believe you have profited from other circumstances, rather than the "floorless" concept. You could have done the same with a hundred other oil companies that don't have "floorless" paper.
I don't believe I espoused any desire to <shoot the evil naysayers>. I just don't like to see the negativism being presented in these depressing times. It is just too easy to be negative. I think it is time to be strong... to stand up in troubled times and reap the rewards after the storm has passed.
I guess I take it upon myself to defend some of these people that I know, because they can't defend themselves. It is especially hard to let things be said that you know aren't true about their character or motives.
I respect your opinion and theories. I conceded that they were definite possibilities (and they are), but I still believe that concept will not prevail with HEC, due to their management.
Thanks for the posts and for calling my attention to my emotional facet. I will try to keep my cool in the future.
Good Luck to you, too!
Rod
