(Somewhat OT) What's the date for the next Fed meeting?

I thought it was late Feb, but I keep hearing that Greenspan might raise early Feb.

I agree about XTO's debt, but picking up those Arkoma properties at the bottom of the cycle seemed smart to me. Suspect they will reduce the debt substantially this year.

Slider, I had a UPR buy order in at 10 3/4. Even I didn't think UPR would drop this fast - it's been falling like a rock since earnings were announced. I am still seeing heavy selling pressure and have thus reduced my offer.

Brent - you are doing M. Simmons a diservice by taking so little from the context. The words surrounding those predictions were total hedges. In fact in the opening paragraphs he touted his record of never having predicted the price of oil.

I will say however that I agree with his prediction and am happy that he is calling it that way.

I remain very bullish on XTO. The stock is cheap at 2X FY2000 cash flow. As for the debt/equity ratio, I would expect this to drop with planned asset sales, and as cash flow pays off the debt.

The leverage helps us in an up market, and 2000 is definitely shaping up to be an up market.
