Perhaps some OSX investor's portfolio didn't outperform cash in the Sept. to Dec. period but I can say that every single name in my portfolio had a very nice increase during that time period. In fact, it was one of better times of the year. I certainly don't think I'm unique in that regard. It depended on what sector of the OSX you were in. If it was the US drillers, you rocked. If it was offshore int'l, you cried. If it was OTCG names you lost. If it was NG focused E&P names you won. Iso is right-if you owned the OSX you would have been better off in cash but, who in their right mind would actually want to own the OSX?? Sector selection was, and continues to be, the key to performance. Will we look back 6 months from now and find that the recent under performers have become the winners? I think so, for some.

Oh COME ON! LOL So now I'm supposed to compare cash with the XNG index since September?!(G). Talk about a red herring post?! Now that IS worth a ROFLMAO!!! Talk about reaching?! Geez!! Why don't you try keeping track of what's being traded here. HELLO! DUH...it's NOT the XNG! Which BTW, if you've ever bother to look, is FAR from a pure NG E&P index. WE TRADE individual NG E&P stocks here. Got it?? My NG E&Ps almost all down from where I sold them. Most substantially so. Why don't you just GET OVER IT?! NG E&Ps have topped. And other than ST weather related pops here and there they are going much lower from here! Case closed! Isopatch
