My opinion is that they are stacked too much in one geographic region, and they lack flexibility. As others suggested, I would bias deepwater drilling specialists, or companies involved in that, though like anything research is highly suggested.

Volume across many of the tanker companies, drillers, and smaller oil services companies was high today. I saw four of my holdings trade up on huge volumes. I wish I had a good explanation why, but so far all I have come across is more active program trading.]]>

The business model is awesome but they have not had the growth in revenues and bottom line to justify the valuation. ]]>

Re. Bolivia, those who have spoken about the risk are correct. I have lived in Bolivia, and I understand the political and business climate there. Contracts and the rule of law are not respected. Bolivia is on a path to confiscate large ranches right now- especially in Santa Cruz province. They have nationalized private mining and energy properties in the past. Right now, Bolivia appears to be cooperating with mining companies (because the government is broke), but that could change overnight.

They could clear $260 Million annually. The number of shares are 1/10th of what they were.

CDE is currently getting rid of the disenchanted and moving into stronger hands. This is a normal process.

You have your opinions, I have mine. I feel CDE will earn $4-5/shr in the next few years because of the reverse split. It will be above $50.]]>

Bolivia's Presidente - Morales is another Castroite and could very possibly follow Venezuala's example of nationalizing industry. I use to own Apex Mines when they owned San Cristobal -- supposedly the richest potential Silver mine on Earth. Then Morales was inaugurated wearing
a Coca leaf necklace and I got out at the first opportunity. Now Apex is worth Zero.]]>

The one thing I don't know is how far out do the hedges go, becuase when they expire (is that the right term) then Encana's profit might drop significantly.
