not long Asia, just Japan. (which coincidently was up another 3.3% last night!) Weakness in oil prices is a weather phenom. not an asian one IMO. The current unusual heat (gas is already up becasue of utility use), extra driving, and the bitter cold of this winter will bring prices back in line.

Been a driller bull for long time just haven't owned them for several months. I still love NE, great company and look forward to owning a sizeable positin again soon, but not now.

Excellent analysis Slider! I think Asian oil demand is the key to the oil patch sector and I think that you are correct in pointing out that the drillers will lead, not follow Asian profits. And I believe that Japan will follow, not lead, the rest of the Asian Pacific economies.
