capndinghy Posted March 4, 2011 #3 Share Posted March 4, 2011 That is good news. The stock price has plummeted from around 46 down to 40. Of course 'you know who' bought more at 46. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yst347 Posted March 4, 2011 #4 Share Posted March 4, 2011 The stock price drop mirrors the recent oil price spike. If oil continues up over the next few weeks I expect the stock to continue to fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank12 Posted March 4, 2011 #6 Share Posted March 4, 2011 This was announced on Jan 20th (42 days ago). Yes it was. I believe there was even a thread on it back when it was first announced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky2 Posted March 5, 2011 Author #7 Share Posted March 5, 2011 That is good news. The stock price has plummeted from around 46 down to 40. Of course 'you know who' bought more at 46. I was lucky. I bought it at 17.07 per share. Actually, I bought 100 shares at 37.00 in May of 2008. When it dropped to 17 in March of 2009, I bought 100 more shares. Then 31 days later I sold the first 100 and took the loss which lessened my cap. gains on another stock I sold which had a profit. My commission was only 7.95 so it was worth it.
