Greed and Capitalism

What kind of society isn't structured on greed? The problem of social organization is how to set up an arrangement under which greed will do the least harm; capitalism is that kind of a system.

SandRidge Energy Possible Turn Around?

Oil prices are rising and the author of the newsletter, builds a good case thar Sand Ridge Energy is well-placed as a turnaround with its debt erased in the bankruptcy and the company is emerging with nearly half a billion dollars in liquidity ....
"On another note today, we talked a few weeks ago about the opportunities in
post–bankruptcy oil and gas stocks

I walked through the backstory on Sand Ridge Energy and its emergence from bankruptcy on October 5.
After some initial selling (likely by the former debt holders), the stock has climbed almost daily—up almost 20% from when we discussed it on October 11.


Remember, this was a $3 billion company three years ago when oil was closer to $100. That was with a big debt burden on its balance sheet.

Now oil looks like it might be on its way back to the mid–$60s, if not higher, and SandRidge is a virtually debt–free, post bankruptcy company with half a billion dollars in liquidity.

Even at half the valuation of 2013, the new SandRidge is a triple from current levels.
Add to that, if Trump were to win, these post–bankruptcy commodity companies would have huge run–ups. (Not a selling point)
