This is is a company that got caught  with their pants down when oil collapsed.  I bought in when they declared their intention to start selling assets and reduce debt but the market fell out before they could fully execute on the plan.  They would have avoided the LOC crisis if he market had recovered faster, but it didn't. We gambled and lost.  Now it's time for ...more
