Yes, EKS, I'm partial to stocks involved in the Bakken, and I own and watch stocks in that arena.

I never did by NOG (shoulda/coulda/dint); I sold BEXP too soon (shouldn'ta but did), and I still hold ERF. ERF a big loser for me-- I bought shares in '06-'08 and have held on:
finance.yahoo.com.

I swapped BEXP for its sometime partner USEG whose numbers I could understand a bit better. I have a full position in USEG.
Also a full position still in Crescent Point Energy(CSCTF.PK)which I mentioned to you back in '08.

Perhaps a safer bet here than some is MDU with its Fidelity E&P business. (Although with less possible gain perhaps because of the diverse businesses and geographical interests of MDU.) I hold a few shares. I also am holding and reinvesting distributions from ENB. It's the general partner or head of several businesses, one of which owns/operates a big pipeline at the Bakken.

I have had a gtc in for more BSIC which would make it about a full position for me. In past few days the stock has moved up away from me though.
finance.yahoo.com
BSIC's been a losing position for me overall ---I've been in since '05 with adds in subsequent years as stock has fallen.

I recently added to my small position in AXAS:
finance.yahoo.com

Also have a few shares in a few others Bakken-related -- KOG, SM, others.
