I said I was going to call 4 of the land drillers today...sorry, but with all the action in these stocks I decided not to. I didn't feel like being put on hold for 45 minutes while IR talked to all the people who just jumped on the oil bandwagon and want to know what the hell they just bought. As soon as I call and find out the info I will report back. Sorry for the delay. D Chapman

Some of you guys crack me up. For God's sake, repeat after me, "my stocks are not poker chips, my stocks are not poker chips." Who the devil cares what Cramer says, or what those idiots at ML smoke, eh? And all these predictions of how the OPEC deal is doomed, and the pride some show at selling at the high today. Good Grief!!!!! I hate to keep repeating myself (no I don't), but the fundamentals on these stocks are better than when they were in November. I for one have NO interest in pulling off 4 to 6 point gains when I know many of my oil interests will double or triple within the next two years...because... THEY ARE GREAT COMPANIES. Don't be so antsy to pull the trigger folks. If you bought these stocks for good reasons and not because someone told you to, then now is not the time to sell. To suffer for month after month and throw in the towel after a short one nighter... I plan on having a very long, sensual relationship with all the crude in my portfolio...and will not suffer from premature ejection of any of my favored positions. It may feel good at first, but just wait when you look out the window next month at all the Gulf beauties who will be hanging all over me in my car. And if some of you nervous nellies can't relate to this perspective, at least listen to Ron. Right Ron?! Ron? Ron? Good God, I'm I the only one up this time of night? "Oh darling..." "Yes Cliffrose honey, I'm coming."
