Thean & thread: would you still buy any of the drillers after this quick run-up, assuming you still had cash on the sidelines, & if so which ? TIA Bruce Taylor

I concur on your NE target. NE's high was 32.75 (and the close!) Too bad you didn't get any, but I'm sure you picked up a bargain elsewhere. I added more yesterday and today. The only reason I'm even thinking about the S-T is because I own these stupid calls. (they're almost more trouble than they're worth to watch them so close) I only buy speculative options for small amts and mostly for fun. Never sell my stock for S-T profit. Too much tax! Don't plan on selling any calls either. Wouldn't that be a disaster: accept .5 for Dec 35's and the stock close at 40 on the 19th! No thanks. Not married for life just keeping her until she gets old and ugly. Right now, NE looks red hot in a dress. HA! JUST KIDDING! Thread: Please do not flood me w/ posts saying I'm a masculine pig. I'm only kidding, but NE does look very good here. Closed back above fifty day moving average at the high of the day. No investor these days can buy a stock and close his eyes, but w/ NE I'm almost tempted. Looking for new highs, soon. Congrats to those who held fast, you will now reap the rewards! As for the panic sellers and nay sayers. They'll be back in the sector soon enough, and we'll go thru this same process again. Washing out the weak while the the ones "in the know" continue to profit. Good Luck! -Lucretius
