I suffered greatly today and I feel for everyone on this thread. I felt more and more nauseous as the selling intensified and I almost puked my brains out several times today. I still feel like shit. My wife Andrea has been a support to me today. She's tough as nails and assures me that the drillers will come back in short order. Still long and will remain so.

PK - I didn't investigate this when I first read it, but I seem to recall some discussion about it on this thread long, long ago. Subject 20887 I assume the analysts have this in their earnings forecast, but you know what they say about assuming... I've narrowed my focus down to RIG and FGII, with CDG for very S/T trades, but I want some leadership from oil first. Diamond has the same sentiment that I do about earnings - even with a bounce from OPEC, there's a lot of potential bad news out there. You know any signs of weakening fundamentals will just fuel the short selling. Those canyons in January and March are very scary looking right now. Hate to sound like doom and gloom, but it pays to plan ahead. After you jump out of the airplane is a bad time to remember your parachute. Alex
