It wouldn't affect the large part of MHR's production which is hedged over $100, and I suspect they could survive just fine at $75 since their costs dropped dramatically last quarter as the scale in their acquisitions kicked in. This is the idiocy of how small cap explorers trade. Once they have a solid production line, they can mint cash flow at even modest prices, and the fat run they had in the last year is Christmas come early. But the market is not differentiating today, if it produces energy or commodities, line it up and shoot it. Just like least year. Fortunately, this year I am much less long and much less willing to take larger bets during a downfall, apart from my MHR position. This too shall pass. I will be shocked if oil gets much under $90 for long but in a speculative market, all things are possible.

So what happens now? I am still clueless while waiting as the major averages for US, Germany, UK are still quite high, other leading economies have fallen somewhat more yet most everything else anywhere you look has crashed already. Spain broke the 2009 lows, Italy is doing a fourth retest of the 2009 lows..we know about most US based stocks, commodities, gold and energy included.. It is sell in May and go away time but low energy prices would be a nice stimulus for the economy maybe more of the industrial names in steel and aluminum much safer? Sony, Panasonic, Nokia, Sprint at lows going back 20 years going to disappear as Apple gobbles up more market share and fat margins to a trillion market cap or do ATT, Verizon, Microsoft put an end to the nonsense?

Re: MHR-D at forty five bucks? My Preferred Portfolio makes up 25% of my entire Portfolio MHR-D makes up a little over 2% of my Preferred Porfolio This drop doesn't bother me, even a little. I bought MHR-D the latter part of 2011 for $44.24. It was as low as the mid 43's in mid December. Today's drop doesn't even reach the December low. I buy Preferred Stocks for the dividend, not for capital appreciation. The dividend is still there, the same as it was when I bought it. It's also a monthly dividend. I actually prefer quarterly dividends because I like to see higher amounts enter my account psychologically. However, with a monthly dividend, you get the dividend suspension warning sooner. There is no hint of a dividend suspension, so why the concern? The only time I worry about a capital loss is if my stock is above par and has the risk of being called (turning it into an actual loss). I sell my stocks 9-15 months before call date, if the price is high, to avoid that. When you bought this stock, you were expecting xx income each month. Nothing has changed. Milt
