  1. Halcon Resources is performing very well (pun intended) with a beat on revenues, beat on EPS, and raise of 2014 production guidance and for that stock has dropped from 7 to 5. Strange ?? I believe that Halcon Bakken assets ALONE are worth 4+ Billion but what do I know.

    1. I would think investors would see pullbacks in the stock market as buying opportunities. I'm sure Warren Buffett is watching things very, very closely, though he says he doesn't pay attention to such things as "market timing."
