RE:Why did sgy hire that derek christie guy?Maybe there is something more to his hire, but until that is disclosed, I'll go with the theory that Paul was simply helping out an oldtime friend that was long in the tooth looking for work in a sector where there are very few job openings. Obviously, due to their personal relationship he was fully aware of the undervalued position SGY is currently facing and was happy to get onboard in a value play that is due for a sector rotation with US Shale blowing up.
