RE:RE:RE:I think that cccpg should limit any hedging going forward

Nobody was/is concerned about the purchase of the Shell assets - those are great assets. The worry about aquisitions predates that back to when oil was in downturn. They were buying when the market was in the doldrums. That's where the anxiety came from, I don't think people can even remember.

Those fears you refer to were not unfounded. If oil turned against them after they purchased the Shell assets they were dead in the water. It was a wreckless "Hail Mary" with the level of debt they were already carrying.
People on this board wonder "why" Cpg is a laggard compared to other oil names. Well, Cpg management has earned a reputation. That's why.

Sorry for the rant and thank my lucky stars oil went north and not south.

I don't believe the company is bloated. They were totally sustainable at $50/wti - both in terms of costs, debts and potential capex to roughly maintain their current production. Having said that, CPG is going to take a significant impairement from hedging - there is no way around it. Their cash posiition is still excellent.

There are some companies that have been thrown a liferaft by $80-100 oil because they were in a bad spot. CPG's only real downfall was taking on aquisitions when the market wasn't sure they could repay the associated debt. We're in the era of repayment now. The debt is handled. Those fears were ultimately unfounded.

what do you people think?

this entire heavy reliance on hedging is due to the fact that they are bloated in costs and need have certainty in their future revenue numbers.

had they done what everyone else did. get rid of any and all unnecessary people. they wouldn't have been where they are now. instead, management decided to not only give them lifetime employement guarantees. they started an employee stock plan to reward them some more LOL

you can't make this spit up
