Nice for former WPX shareholders

: was up 4.45% today before the close. Held that gain after hours. 

Comment: folks may not recall but there was an article not too long ago that said shale operators were going to have a ton of cash to give away. If I can find it, I will link it. Later: here it is. It's an old story. Not sure if it still has relevance.

  1. WTI slips below $60 in after market trading but is still a solid 59. Whole numbers milestones are just goog optics. 60 looks better than 59 to our brain

    1. What amazes me is how "stable" the market seems -- sits at $60 despite all the things going on right now. No one can predict the price of oil. But I'm sure a lot of operators are hedging a lot of oil at these prices.

  2. According to a couple of international press pieces I read, seems oil is in a good place right now. I personally like $65/barrel for No dak sweet. Thats my happy zone.

    1. Agree. Years ago I wrote that the sweet spot was $55 to $65 or something like; I've long forgotten. Maybe it was $50 to $60. Somewhere in that range.
