It just isn't that cheapThe reason GTE lags other oil names is that relaitive to other oil producers it just isn't that cheap. They have a crushing debt load that will take them years to get out from under, even at elevated oil prices. As a long term holder I feel stuck with it, but only an oil super-cycle will make this one pay out. Between its relatively rich valuation, its history of operational problems and the continuing political risks there are no reasons to buy this over other small cap oils.
