RE:Most Oil and Gas Stocks.....am holding 5300 cpg @36.93 since 6 yrs..the div has returned 16.56$ over those 6 yrs..would not like it if div was cut by 50%..but if that is what it takes to survive in this low and lower oil price enviroment..so be it....if world economies stumble and oil price slips to low 40$ level.....or lower..and stays there for some time...i want the company to survive and come out the other side to take advantage of better times...am not a trader...but am watching it closely..would buy some more at 18$ level...also hold 2444 pwt @17.79 since july 2006//first bought at 39.41$....now consider the stock as a long term option.....if cpg could absorb pwt and the deal made sense..that would be even better.....good hunting to all
