RE:Bir at $70.00 BL equvlentI suspect that BIR will be very close to debt-free by the end of this year. However, we don't know how high oil will be, nor, more importantly, how high ng will be. But I do suspect that ng will rise over the next 4 months. After that, it's hard to say. I do think BIR is a very good stock to own for the near term. We will learn a lot more when BIR releases Q 3 results in 2 weeks.
