Flan, i wouldn't spend too much worrying about Jim is doing. I'm sure that at any one time less than 2% of the $1 Billion that he manages is in the oil sector, on either side. Here's a little thing he had at the bottom of a collum this morning. Random musings: Oil, what can I say? I knew enough not to short the complex anymore and yet there I was arguing, convincingly, I think, to stay away from these stocks. Scrambled eggs all over my face? Yes, and not thrown by my youngest daughter either!! How do I feel about this? Miserable of course, even more miserable because I let down my partners who are paying for me to get this stuff right. I had covered my shorts but I was without catalyst to go long. Now there is a catalyst. I am still doing nothing because I believe that the OPEC nations are cheaters and because I don't believe you can rig markets. Witness Chevron, which picked everybody off at the opening above 90 and keeps going lower. I think the open-higher-then-falter approach of the drillers, coupled with the strength in bonds and the utes, is telling me I am right to do nothing, and that the group is still in the grips of the bear. That said, a little pepper please, and maybe some salsa, to make it taste better.
