Marc,

I didn't necessarily want to trade this sector with SLB and RON. It turned out that way by accident. I gave up on all my smaller OS stocks and just bought a bunch of SLB calls for the longer term and lo and behold it made close to my objective in a very short time so I sold.

Then it started to tank and I figured I would buy them back on the cheap and that turned into a profit. I can't tell you how many times I have done it but it is making me more money than buy and hold. If it stops then I'll quit.<g>

Seriously this is a great trading stock without the worry of going bankrupt and there is so much emotion that the upside and downside always seems to get overdone.
