RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:NOW !!! DAMMIT NOW !!! HAMMER That Re-Financing DEBT PackageYou can only say that with 20/20 hindsight. No one could have forseen WIT hitting $63.50. Heck, even this morning people were talking about the OPEC risk to the price with the talk being of a possible production increase of 1.5M BOD.
The hedge program was reasonable and prudent given what was known at the time along with the need to protect their financial position and capex program.
I just think you cannot criticize management for doing the hedge as they had little room to absorb any bad news if the price had gone south.
