Careful Dave - it doesn't take much to get brother mongrel quoting a verse from his favorite book. But don't worry, the sermons from his playbook are mostly several years old, and a bit dog-eared by now. Gee, I thought Halloween was over.
It's true that Charles Bitters isn't drilling his 7,000 Barnett Shale acres as fast as we'd like, and if he didn't do any new drilling at all, ummm, that would make your scenario plausible.
I guess we'll have to wait and see if the five drilling projects being worked on come to fruition - if they do, then we can conclude that Bitters intends to derive income from his assets and grow his company. That's what I've been betting on.
