RE:Why does drop in oil price devestate share price immediately
Shorts don't believe in $60+ WTI price and sell the stock on high volume days. Watch them get killed in Q2 when we have a short squeeze and oil prices are moving higher. As I am always saying: "Ignore the noise and learn patience in an upside down marekt." I am betting on reversion to the mean, i.e. better pricing for Cdn oils. WTI/Edm par diff is down from $9 to $4 and WCS diff is shrinking. SK crude is priced higher than the same quality in N. Dakota - in spite of their new Bakken pipeline. The $Cdn is falling which means better netbacks for Canuck oils. Go figure.
