very good point airs n oils our family business uses much gas in the summer months our seasonally busiest, and for the last 20 years or so, gas has always gone up in the spring and stayed high throughout the summer months. Kinda like the murphy's law effect. Last year gas did not go up, a rare phenomenon. hmmm ... is it heading back to the "norm"? maybe a good time to "switch hit" out of airs and into oils. This is the first "semi-bullish" thought I have had on the oils in almost 2 years trading. Paul .... sir oil master ... thoughts? can we lightly tread back into the oils? sue

Oil and Air: - You raised some good points susie. While I am still following and invested in U, ALK and LUV, I am surprised that we haven't seen a break-out on these stocks. I view LUV as a long term hold, like WMT and WCOM and MSFT - it is the class of the airlines. U and ALK are more traders to me, not very successfully I might add. I remain suspect of oil as a short term play. There have been too many false starts. While this group, oil and oil services, is about as oversold as it gets, the true resurgence of the sector will be marked by a rebound in world economies, particularly Asia, not by OPEC production reductions. Right now I see Asia and Oil, Oil Service as probably the biggest potential gainers over an 18 -24 month period of time. And gains of huge proportions. But in a trading world where 18-24 minutes is a long-term, I don't think many accept that perspective. Larry
