RE:The short-termism here is unbelievable.The short run, is all many of these plays have in oil - many of these companies will not survive.
The historic price of oil is right around where it sits today $40 - $50 You can look that up very easily; the last 10 years was a bubble and a number of these companies have indebted themselves based on that bubble - like COS.
Your right, if you are dumping like one posting suggests 80K into COS at this point in time you
might as well taken the cash to the casino.
