Actually ... no. I have the drillers and I bought them last year near their highs. Averaged down, but have a long way to go. Unfortunately, they are giving back their small gains already today. But I think these are good plays for the next few months. If we do go after Iraq they will move; otherwise, I think they are good for 1999 with the cold winter coming, oil should move up and bring the drillers with them. This is a good entrance point ... wish I didn't have them at more than 3 times current prices. But sill holding XYLN and NEWZ and the baby bells!
