RE: any buying of plt.un... " if the market stumbles the financially weak stocks will get killed. "
Actually Mangokid, when the market tumbles, I usually see most stocks get hit, but the weaker ones get hit more... along with the ones that are *perceived* to be weak.
There's a difference between a company that is genuinely weak (like YLO) vs. one that is merely perceived to be weak.
I've been down this road before with Daylight, Petrobakken and others.
Petrobakken was feared to have debt problems... which were seriously overblown in my opinion when I looked at the revenue and cash flow. Once a new debt deal was inked, the shares took off and I doubled my money.
PLT is feared to have terrible numbers and an unsustainable dividend because of the production problems (which are now fixed), rock bottom NG prices (which are on an up trend) and NGL pricing concerns (which dropped in the summer, but in the case of propane, seems to be recovering).
I see a short term problems that management has a big incentive to fix because management has a lot of their own skin in the game.
