Thank you for your question. You are dealing with two very different companies. One has an enterprise value of almost $24 Billion dollars and has a 15 year history. The other is a small-cap with an enterprise value of just over $200 million dollars. The profit margin on NGAS is 1.58%; the profit margin on XTO is over 33%. NGAS has a quarterly revenue growth of minus 34% and XTO has a quarterly revenue growth of 25%. NGAS is beta is approximately twice that of XTO. I would regard NGAS as a moderately volatile small-cap with significant downside risk. XTO on the other hand is a small Large-cap with a long history of stability, good management, increasing revenues and increasing reserves. I hope that answers your question.
