Tommaso, I have to say I did notice you selling OST to buy XEC and BRG, not sure if you sold to buy anything else. I have kept OST untouched. I have to say inherent in my comments and your reply is a problem with different investors' perspectives and also with programs like Cramers Mad Money. There are ST investors and LT investors and it is hard to cater to both. Even Cramer sounds schizophrenic when he tells energy investors to sell oil one day and buy back the next day. Aside from the fact that some people think he might be a little 'out there', this is a problem where some ST oriented investors (who can watch the screen all day) want to trade and LT investors (who want to buy and hold and ride the ups and downs) want to hold. On this thread, we have both types. The issue I have is that some ST investors want to have trading signals, and I have had PMs on that topic. The LT investors merely go quiet when the market is down, and probably turn off the PC and TV (I got out of the office almost all day). So, I agree with you and I am holding, although I am long one SU put. Reconciling the two types of investors in one forum can be a challenge. I will buy more PBG and OPC on a decent pullback though. David

< I would not encourage anyone to trade in and out of the tar sands. That's the place to be for very big long term gains.> Those are very good type of gains, imo. This opportunity in oil sands, especially the juniors, won't be dangling in front of us forever. I believe it is a very unique situation, as is the NG crunch coming our way. Cheers, John
