Timing:  The stock is trading well off its six month high, but has rebounded significantly from its low in late October.
Reason:  Energy prices have dropped dramatically in the last few months. Over the summer, oil was selling for over $140 a barrel. Prices are now under $50 a barrel. Although prices are being depressed by the recession, we expect oil prices to rebound substantially at some point.

Total Spent:   $1829.49
