They just put out an 8-K & PR explaining:

The chart looks primed - I've made a lot on this one over the years, the swings are pretty wide usually with large candles.



Such a large drop with a great forecast and strong results - I am looking for the reason for the drop? Crude prices? Any ideas? What am I missing?

If I can't find anything, I will be getting in REXX again in about a week.

All The Best
