You should have got into RIG a year ago when Jim Cramer was hot for it. The move in RIG I think is over. It had its run up and now all of those things you site are priced in. That is unless you think there is something in RIG that everyone has missed but after a solid year of pumping by Cramer I think it has given its all.
Why put money in RIG for a few percent when you can get the same return in cash with no risk? It's down 11% YTD, 22% in the past 6 months. You're on the back slope with this trade me thinks.

Looks like the storm is weaker than expected.
I am not playing the oil/NG play from the storm.
I agree that NG and oil has downward momentum......sentiment is definitely negative right now.

I agree the American demand destruction for oil is real and will continue. But it could be balanced or even exceeded by increasing demand in China and India. If Tata gets their way (converting scooters & bikes to cars) India's consumption will skyrocket.
Doesn't RIG have multi-year visibility? And we may still open up American off-shore drilling.
I still want to pick up CHK around $40. I was too chicken when it got close recently.

^ Just make sure you sell before the storm actually hits (if it does). The price of oil dropped 10% the day after Katrina hit and this time will be no different. The market NEVER underestimates the extent of the disruption. Expect oil back to $115 the second the thing makes landfall. Same for NG.

Looks like Erik's Magic 8 ball is right. Oil is at 111.x as of 5:13pm est. Guess were going to test the 100 level pretty soon.
