Of course, as we get into late September we may get fund buying in energy for window dressing. I think the overall market is more vulnerable than the energy sector despite our run up this year.

Hello Jim! Like you, I trimmed my holdings a good bit. You might say I gave them a military haircut. I didn't liquidate anything, just cut em way back. I'm off margin and have a little cash set aside for after the OPEC meeting. I did pick up a little VPI and ROIL today. Add to that my OEI and I'm comfortable with my E&P holdings. I'm not concerned about the tax man. I wish I was paying a million bucks in taxes this year. I don't worry about taxes until December. That's the only time I let taxes interfere with my investing disciplines. Hey, with a little luck, maybe next year will be the year I pay a million bucks in taxes. If I do, the rig party is on me. ;) dabum
