LNC DOES not PARTICIPATE in the rise in OIL prices as the production is HEDGED at $89 PB.

The company has been positioning to unlock value for years.
The question is why tip hundreds of millions into American oil when at the time LNC had a suite of Coal and UCG assets that were in need of development funds?
