This is what OXY is sitting on top of. And as I posted, NG is selling right now for $8.31 in California. fe.doe.gov SEC Disclosure: I bought several sets of calls in OXY a few weeks ago--so BUY BUY BUY and make me some money.

re: JQP - <Just checking in while on the road> ... Well I won that bet didn't I (VBG)~ "on vacation" - that wasn't even a hard call... But; before you left you wouldn't answer any direct, live time questions on still being on "max margin" when the tape broker shortly after you went "max"... and it's not as if you weren't posting regularly; must of been a couple of well timed, very short vacations - in that you only seemed to be on the road (not posting) during those 2 whipsaws to OSX 110ish when your were on "max margin" & questioned to as if you were holding, or folding (VBG)? - ie: Member 4002111 <I am up nicely from the last time I checked a week ago. Hope others are as well.> ... as I said "Q"; nothing wrong with sharing your trading moves as many of us do; exchanging thoughts... but; if when you pound the table about going "max margin" - then fail to answer numerous questions & posts about whether you are, or aren't still - "max margin" during the two whipsaws to OSX 110; don't come back thumping your chest - claiming to miraculously having been on "vacation" & having only stopped posting during the two whipsaws ? - C'Mon "Q" - this is getting old... allway after the fact. ===================================================================== To: isopatch who wrote (77239) From: John Q Public Wednesday, Oct 25, 2000 4:01 PM ET Reply # of 79167 Hope you are right. Went to max margin this afternoon. ====================================================================== - well you're not "up" from where you went "max margin" - with two whipsaw's to OSX 110 in between... but; as the song goes - "it's your story & we'll let you tell it"...after the fact & all... and again; why wouldn't you answer any questions during the volatility like everyone else did ? ... that's rhetorical "Q" - trust me; by now - we know "why".... Amazing that you only quit posting on those two whipsaws to 110 (VBG)~ amazing timing for those little mini-vacations "Q". - Every time you quit posting the OSX tanks, or every time you go on vactaion the OSX tanks (or vice versa VBG)... gee; what a coinkydink huh "Q" ? < "checking in while on the road" & "Slider's post turned up on a search" ?> ROFLMAO ~ in a world of strokes, fakes, phony's & chain pullers - "Q"; you're among the most entertaining... never a live time answer, ever; when you are put on the spot. You failed to answer the "max margin" - "bell" in the finest "Gulotta & No Mas" fashion possible... and now you've arrived from vacation and a "search" thumping your chest ? - come on... < Back to the road to check up on more of my holdings> "Q" the only "holding" you're interested in on your imaginary "road trip" is the guy playing George Michael in the next stall at the Public Restroom on the Toll Road... Here's to "pucker power" ! ...some things never change - welcome back "Q" (allthough we all know you never "really" left). Hey; next time you go on vacation - please let us know; because your "vacations" have now become the ultimate OSX "tanking" indicator... (VBG). And on the "chain pulling" - please be gentle - mine's getting a little sore of late...enough allready ~ ...I'll take my stops flipping me out of being 50-60% in; to getting stopped out at 112-115 where I added; and switching to "calls" at 110-112ish. I've now got basically the same upside, but much less exposure and defined downside and I'll sleep just fine. Again - any weather related spike will be a selling/profit taking rally and the volatility isn't going anywhere and much of it is external - election related and untradeable... OSX 110/115 to 128/135 the range continues; nothing new... I prefer to not have to watch the tape daily during the holdiays; to still be selectively "short" the NAZ bubble and "offensively-defensive" in Golds...and keeping lots of cash - as one can allways add on strength; or buy later dips; as we'll have plenty more... ... and by the way; the next "BIG & EASY" money trade in the oilpatch; will be on the downside and it will arrive sooner than most think. Welcome back "Q"... as if you ever "really" left ... PS - $35 Oil & $6 NG negative ? No; just realistic and knowing that the peak in commodity prices often equal the peak in the OSX index. A slowing US economy, unsustainable US Dollar, foreign repatriation due to an imploding credit market, a tanking NAZ and an unsettled transfer of power; is the reason to be negative. ie: the "sky is falling" - Oct 97 Deja Vu all over again... ... we just may have allready peaked at OSX 140 just like in Oct 1997 and we are still just at OSX 120 today people !?!?! - and we've here & done that more than a few times here in the OSX; being higher back late March/April - 8 months ago ! One could have sold & exited the oilpatch 8 months ago & put one's money in a money market acct & been ahead of the OSX index here. ... so "Q"; as far as seeing "God" talking about "being whipsawed" ? - that's exactly what has been going on here for the last 8 damn months; has it not ? "Q" you're beginning to sound a lot like the Techie's were on the recent "bull trap" NAZ rally that went 500 up, only to immediately collapse 700 down... not only did they fail to realize they were down 2000 points & only up 500; but that 500 they got all 10 ft tall & bulletproof about - soon turned into - "just another" whipsaw - bull trap; so I wouldn't get too cocky yet ...at least wait (as usual) untill after the fact ~ ... just got back from a late trip to pick someone up from O'Hare - gotta get some sleep; but in talking to some airline people & a cargo terminal Mgr for a "major" airline... the slowdown is here fwiw.
