Already they are looking past the downturn. I don't ever recall this before. And I believe they are merely posturing for when their forecasts are proven wrong.

The wildcard is that $44+ oil may inhibit growth to an extent to bring the more pessimistic views to fruition.

matt, thanks. >While the firm is more negative on the CY2005 capex, they believe the downturn will be much shallower and generally shorter than prior cycles.< I haven't seen so much baffle gab in years.
