<<<Off Topic>>> ** SLIDER ** As we all know, Slider pledged that if MEXP did not go to $4 by Christmas, he would never post here again. I think that the fair thing for everyone else to do at this point in time is to assume that he is doing the honorable thing --- keeping his word. Therefore, it would not be fair for anyone else to post disparaging remarks about him here, since he could not respond without breaking his pledge to not post here. I hope that Slider will establish a new base. Yahoo offers the possibility of starting what they call 'Clubs'. ---Bob Bowker, who many know and respect from his 'Labpuppy' oil commentaries, has started one of these which is directed toward long term investment in this sector. ---Slider could establish such a thread that would focus on the shorter term, opportunistic style he exemplifies. I'm sure it would be very popular and would attract a large readership. Alternatively, he might prefer to simply post elsewhere without establishing a 'Home Base' at Yahoo as Bowker has done. Motley Fool, Labpuppy, and various Yahoo stock sites all would be possibilities. -------------------------- Slider --- If you send me a Private SI Message telling me where you are posting, I will post the information to the thread so that all will know where to find you. -------------------------- ---It would be like hitting a man who's hands are tied to post disparaging remarks about Slider now that Christmas has passed and he cannot post here without breaking his pledge. Let's all be civilized and show Slider the respect he's due for being a man who keeps his word. regards, diana

Nice call Diana re: the drop of RIG. I sold the latter part of December and am going to try to buy back at $25 to $26. What do you think? Dave
