Sold some OSX issues, near term upside appears limited. Bought more UCL - at march levels, I'll take it. XOI, if this a reversal, can run longer than the OSX in the short term.

UCL chart

207.61.23.98

XOI chart

207.61.23.98

According to UCL (from Yahoo PR)

The El Segundo, Calif.,-based company said its forecast was based on an average West Texas Intermediate price of $21.50 a barrel, and return on capital employed of between 8 percent to 9 percent. The company provided its 2000 outlook and strategy in a meeting with Wall Street analysts in New York.

Unocal also estimated a natural gas price of $2.55 per thousand cubic feet for the U.S. benchmark Henry Hub delivery point, but noted that volatile energy prices made
forecasting difficult.

It said its earnings shift 14 cents a share for each $1 change in average oil prices and 7 cents a share per 10 cent change in U.S. natural gas prices.

Their estimate on crude appears very conservative. This is one stock I don't mind margining even with a shaky market.

Glad I stayed on full margin and bought more RIG, TDW, NR, HAL, GLBL and XTO yesterday.

Nice call on XTO, I loaded up at 7 5/8.

Still would like to get some KEG and PGO back.

I have to admit, I didn't sleep all that well last night.

I plan to take a few profits today.

Good luck
