RE:Why now is actually more excitingGood points, GC. It's also good seeing ARX's relative strength today. Regardless of the current SP and broader market environment for O&G (I never invest on a seasonal basis), this company is vastly stronger today that it was one, two and five years ago.
It's a top-quality play whose instrinsic value will be realized sooner or later, either organically or via M&A.
Cheers and GLTA ARX bulls.

Hedge funds know this all too well, hence why they drive SP down, only to load up for easy profits. This is a strategic time of year to undermine vulnerable stocks (the SPR, Interest rates hikes, warmer weather) have made O and G's victim to the seasonal 'tax time' assault - as money is lean with retail investors due to rising costs all around and weaker investment returns, paired with taxes on the horizon - you have people more easily selling out of fear and defensively to preserve what they have. The hedge funds are having a hay day, as the stocks are defying true logic and cause investors to question the safety of their dollars.
It is my belief to use the same fear the hedge funds use to add, not sell - this is how real gains are made. Look to the future, not to the today.
