The point is, with volumes languishing (and probably poised to decline) tied to a flat oil futures price curve and with economics marginal at $60 per barrel, many E&P operators find themselves running through hedges in 2015 and still in need to finance their already reduced capital spending.Read full article...

These Tech Stocks Make Irresistible "Takeover Targets" / Companies / Tech Stocks
MoneyMorning.com William Patalon III writes: I'm going to start by letting you in on a simple-but-powerful investing secret.
And that secret is this: Never buy a company's stock just because you're betting on a buyout.
