Art, Never, ever, forget that energy is a highly cyclical commodity business. Long term trends are helpful to understand the basic pressures. But there are huge swings that result from short term supply/demand changes. I caution you not to get so carried away with the long term picture (which I agree with) that you lose a lot of money during the current down cycle. I am waiting until the cycle bottoms before taking a meaningful position. Take care, and good luck. JRH
