SU is really just a big penny stock

[Obscure1]

The SU retail investor doesn't stand a chance.  OIl has backed off a bit, but is still up almost 4% and yet SU is down almost 1%.

SU traded 23.5mm shares at the close earlier this week.  The buyers and sellers of those type of transactions (my guess is the transaction was options related) are in complete control of the SU share price.

There is absolutely nothing that retail shareholders can do or say to affect the share price in any way.  As such, retail investors can make the right call and yet end up with egg on their faces because the share price has virtually nothing to do with the company.  It gets even worse because it doens't even matter what the company does. 

SU might as well be a penny stock. 

It is not surprising that the pros continue to sell SU from their funds regardless of how the company performs.  Fund managers want to own securities that they understand and can explain to their investors.  SU doesn't meet that criteria.

Unfortunately the whole sector is also down. No use pounding on SU.

So you look at all your choices to pick the one that you believe will provide you with the best return. As part of your decision, you think energy prices will go up for the foreseable future and you also want a company that will be increaaing tis production of energy

Why would you put all your eggs in one basket? never a prudent idea i have both cnq and su and have been trimming back some cnq to get more into su because it has a more compelling valuation  listen you won't go wrong with either of these fine companies, but personally I believe the hiccups su went through will be dealt with and behind them

Sorry - not suggesting you put all your eggs in one basket..diversification is important but that can be across industry sectors. My main message was that I was tired of the whinning and bleating going on here and suggesting that people take a broader view in terms of figuring out where to put their money and some ideas on how to make that decision. My message was that there are reasons why the
