NEXEN is such a wacky stock to me,its one of those stocks that people feel should go higher,but every year just ends up being average at best.Every few months,someone whispers takeout,and it jumps,only to come back down again.I used to own it,didnt lose any money on it,just got..bored.But you are a smart guy Ebear,I'll watch this one and hope it works out for you...and yes I'll look into the others as well..cheers,and thanks for your picks
