MRO with two down grades this morning should be interesting to watch. Might be able to buy it cheep? Since EOG and OXY did so great on their record announcements, MRO will probably go up instead of down after they missed the street's estimates? VBG

BigDog,
Thanks for the PKD update. A little news leakage there yesterday maybe accounted for some of that buying, which was sold into by some recent regretful buyers? Fewer sellers now that hopeful news is out.

I'm hoping this is a laggard with some legs.

Edit, now some buyers have shown up too, VBG.

Best Regards,

Roebear
