<<Don't you WANT highly leveraged companies when prices are rising or high?>> To some extent. More importantly though, I want to own the stocks that the mutual funds want to own. The difference is the multiple given to cash flow (6 * cash flow as opposed to 2 to 3 i.e. APA, DVN) Highly leveraged, relatively low market cap (under 500 million), questionable management decisions, and in a cyclical industry would not fit the bill for most fund managers. I will wait for the CC before making any final decision (as I see we're up so far), but I have an itchy trigger finger. FWIW - XTO Conference Call 12:00 Central time # 719-457-2645 Password #896449
