  1. I bought KOG stock when it was below $8/share. Thought then that this company holds some prime acreage in the Bakken. It is my thinking that KOG will eventually be a very attractive buyout for one of the big boys due to their holdings.

    1. Of the Bakken-centric companies, KOG is certainly the "darling" of Wall Street. I think folks who watch these companies closely, pick a price target; if the share price drops below that price point, they accumulate more. I agree with you; I think KOG is worth accumulating.

      But again, my usual disclaimer. Just idle chatter; not a trading recommendation.
