Clearly the key here is the value of the properties. It seems a long way to have come for the small up front cash payments.
I don't know what they are worth. It does appear that will be determined in the oil patch by oil people as opposed to by lawyers, which may be a good thing. Those that expected to be simply given a large check in the next couple weeks will undoubtedly sell and move on. What value there is here will take longer to unlock.
I agree with others who have posted that today's volume does not reflect a total dump. More likely it is those looking for a quick cash payday moving on.
My sense here is that there is still another shoe to drop. I am hoping that is not just wishful thinking.
For now I will certainly hold.
If I could afford to buy all of them, I would not need to buy any of them and I sure wouldn't be spending time on the message boards!
