NW Since I was in junior high school I have had an opportunity to hang around oil men.My parents purchased a cottage on Higgins Lake in 1963 from Kenny Fox who at the time was big in oil and gas drilling.It gave me the chance to meet the legends of the Michigan oil bussines,names like Topp Taggart,Harold McLure,Bud Mann and Red Adair.These guys were all chariters in their own way,but all always told me to invest in black gold because it makes the world operate.I watched them in a restaurant bet on which fly would leave the table first!,of course the booze flowed and they were bounced out of some pretty nice places. So I have faith in owning listed companies that deal in oil and gas,unlike the old boys putting their own money up to drill. NW you are doing great in investigating this business,hell you already own COC and in time will pay big! Always a Pleasure barber
