One of the more shrewd investors in oil (IMO) made the observation that in price pull back times like now, oil companies with a solid business plan will be alright, but shaky business plans will fail...thus price pull backs is a healthy way to cull the herd, so to speak, and find healthy companies to invest in. Good time to research oil companies, IMO. Hmmmm sounds like '~*~Mining and Metals Du Jour~*~' as well.
