Pundits said the market "crashed" yesterday because the faster growth (GDP) suggested the economy was recovering and the Fed might have reason to taper.

Today, pundits said the market "surged" because the incredibly good jobs number suggested the economy was recovering and the Fed might have reason to taper.

Fifteen companies announced increased dividends/distributions, including Halliburton.

***************************

KOG: this remains a bit confusing. Yahoo!Finance suggests that KOG is trading at a new high, $12.28, and yesterday, the "new" high was $12.40.

HK up 4% today.

Oasis is up over 4% today.

WLL is up almost 3%.

CLR is up almost 4%, but well off its high of nearly $122.

CVX, COP, XOM: all three are up a bit today.

EOG is my favorite company at the moment. It is up 1% today, well off its recent high, providing an opportunity for some, I suppose.

CHK continues to bleed, but seems to be flattening out. Although below its recent high, it is well above what it had been earlier this year.

SD is flat; struggling. Fell quite a bit yesterday, if I remember correctly.

AMZG is surging today, up another 4%, and 50 cents above it's $2.00 entry price.

TPLM is up 4%, back over $10.

UNP is in its trading range well below its 52-week high. Up today.

I don't follow BNSF (BRK) much any more; BRK follows the market in general.

ENB, EEP are both in a trading range, and in the red today, well below their highs. Folks are nervous about the Sandpiper, probably.

SRE: down about a percent today, just under $90.

TransCanada is in a trading range; has been for quite some time. Down over a percent today.

SLB: still trading near its 52-week high; up over a percent today.
