RE: Macro factors

RE: Macro factorsI think it'll be something similar to the last run on the oil sands stocks.  Last time there was news of a few buy outsand lots of rumors about foreign companies wanting to get a piece ofthe oil sands.  The whole value play philosophy of easy to find oil anda safe political climate.  Lately all the news on the oil sands isabout negative environmental concerns.  The thing is the environmentalconcerns are far different forSAGD than they are for the open pit operations that a lot of the early oil sands players have been using.  SAGDleaves very little footprint on the environment but alas we are alllumped together.  The change in mentality could be very fast once thereis another company stating their oil field is in decline and the mediastarts looking for where oil will come from once more.  The oil is inthe oil sands.  Everyone knows it's there and we also know we can getit.  At the present price of oil, you know that there are companies looking at the oil sands and planning for the next project.
