"At the end of the day, I suppose the saying DYOR is always valid,"
Always....but it doesn't hurt to take on input from people who have spent their working lives in the oil patch. Even if you think my posts are complete bs I'd encourage you to listen to people like Petre, VOGC and others with vast amounts of experience in the oil and gas game.
"didn't know I needed to be also a psychologist to make an investment decision...."
You don't need a psychologist...just learn to remove emotion from the equation when making investment decisions
