BP is getting creamed as much for the risk to their, now 9% dividend, as much as the risk to clean up/containment. Without the dividend it becomes a pure growth play, and it is pretty big now.
Extended family sold ours a couple weeks ago at 44.97, and are glad we did, been holders for years/decade.
We are just generally risk averse at this time, but can see how the attraction of such a large cap name selling at historically low levels would be tempting.
