Katherine-
I checked AE's profile, since I hadn't heard of it before you mentioned it, and I'm surprised at the price to sales ratio. Is that real?

Market cap is only $27M. That could be a problem, because companies that small may not have sufficient access to capital, and that could be a real problem if this energy crisis lasts past this winter. Your safety net is that the company may be taken over, but it might have to bleed a long time before a white knight shows up.

I'd follow diana g's advice (she has always seemed to be a savvy investor) and say that maybe you'd be better off elsewhere (maybe CASH) for now.

Just my 2 cents.
