Hard to say. I do believe that Rainwater took a bath on this one right along with the rest of the shareholders. He got caught in a demand shock, with many events coming to upset the premise upon which he was rebuilding the company - that asian demand would drive up energy prices.

In short, he bet big on the asian economy to become the world's biggest energy consumers. When the bottom fell out of the energy markets, PXD was caught overplaying their position...
