RE:Institutions Have it Out for Canadian Producers"Anyone else noticed this trend?" Anyone who hasn't noticed this trend is blind. Every time companies within the sector try to come up for air, they, the Shorters and IMO some banks, hammer them back down with a vengeance. Pushing them even lower than what they traded at before their attempted rally. I don't see much upside until the end of Q1. Even Russia's latest supposed cutbacks are getting dialed back. Now they're saying it will be only cut 50-60 thousands barrels in January, and the rest will be cut "gradually". Add that to OPEC's energy minister saying they'd sign the agreement in March, and you wonder what they'll actually do. I don't get it, the math should be pretty simple. Cut 2% of your production today, and receive 10% more for the other 98% of production. What's the hold up? That's why we are getting hammered down on every attempt to rally.
