I've talked to and read these reporters for years and yes they are idiots. They do little research and have a very vague understanding of the oil industry. As a matter of fact, it seems like the entire field of journalism has fallen into an abyss. It's a real shame. You used to be able to believe what you read in the newspapers and in magazines. Unfortunately you can't any more. And if you don't see that, it's time you open your eyes and wake up.

Why don't you tell me one reporter in the oil and gas field you trust to write a technically accurate and well-researched article. I know zero and I read a lot.

lol - you give financial/biz type reporters too much credit.

this is a true story regarding another stock i own. there were a number of bearish analysts including one in particular that ALWAYS got quoted in reuters/AP etc etc stories (all main pubs) and so of course the articles always seemed slanted to the bearish side. one of the few bullish analysts (david miller - biotech stock research) asked a few of the reporters why this one bearish guy was always quoted. answer? because his last name began with an "A" and he was the first on the list!!!

so if reporters from some of the "best" outlets are this poor/lazy, how deep do you think these 3rd rate reporters are really digging?

oh and by the way, that bearish analyst had a sell rating and target price of $1 on this stock. as i speak, this stock is breaking an all-time high at $35.50 (from a low of 2.00 last year).

No, I dont think anyone wonders why you post the way you do. we all know exactly what you are doing. if you sold your shares, why post or hang around? if i sold my shares, I would be long gone.
