Thread regarding Devon Energy Corp. layoffs

Energy Jobs/Company Spending Is the New Housing Bubble

Let's face it, overspending, over investing, over hedging and over hiring was rampant over the past few years with the oil speculation bubble that has been around starting at the $100/barrell price fixing a few years ago. That bubble has finally burst and the laws of supply and demand are driving the market again. Shame on these companies for essentially spending on credit. That would be like the common man spending to his $40,000 credit card limit and expecting to make time and a half forever when he knew good and well that his 2 year contract job had an expiration date looming.

I feel sorry for the job fallout that is coming as a result63

The fact you wrote "over hedging" suggests you don't really understand our business.

We have to continue drilling or the company will go under. But as we all can see, the more drilling creates a glut and causes the price to tumble. I can see it hitting the low 30's by the end of the year. In 2 years it will rebound back to $60-70. Its all just a vicious cycle.
