What oil prices drop and we think the problem is solved ? C'mon we need a decent Energy policy in this country. Wind and Nuke have to be part of the solution. I have to ask who the hell is cheering that he lost his short term funding ? Whoever it is ...better wake up and smell the coffee ! The US Government and the State of Texas should be coughing up coin to support him. What you want to bring back the Coal Plants that got cancelled by TXU. Amazing the idiot who are making comments to his plan !</p> Folks,

The investors who opted out of this fund are just like any panicked investors who are pulling out of their 401ks today just because the value has gone down. The smart strategy is if you do not need the cash today, just ride it out. Oil & Natural gas is not going to be at these prices forever, you know we'll be paying $4.65 per gallon for 87 unleaded pretty soon.</p> Its not “lost” until the shares are sold, as long as Boone is holding, that should prove confidence in oil and natural gas prices.
