"I have a very vivid memory of the late '70s when the oil bubble burst and fortunes were lost."

I'm pretty heavily weighted in oil/oil-related stocks. Given the past month or so, I already feel like I've lost a fortune now vs. where I was at then. Of course, nothing like the pain back in '70's ('80's?) for oil people who lost jobs, houses, businesses, spouses. Still, the evaporation now in stock values hurts.

Fwiw. Bad news out of EXH (Exterran Holdings) this morning. Sales volume seems to be there, not enough profits. I'll up my miniscule few shares a little.
