Oil Company execs selling their shares.

From CNBC:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '"')We've seen increased selling in the oil and gas industry as a whole," LoPresti said Monday on CNBC's "Power Lunch." "Last month, oil and gas drillers were the top sellers, by market value. They were the second-top sellers by net shares sold, and, by head count, there were five sellers for every one acquirer."

It's interesting...are the rats jumping from a sinking ship?? Some of the firms listed are in the exploration field. CNBC explains the selling more or less as profit taking on a long price runup.

Then they toss this line in:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'N')abors Industries Ltd.
• "One of the future risks for drillers is that liquefied natural gas has been expected to play a growing role in satisfying North American demand," LoPresti said. "Domestic gas drillers may be hurt by that."


It sounds like economist-speak for acknowledging declining North American supplies.

Sounds fishy to me.

I could see them sell now...drive the price down to rock bottom & then buy them all back...just watch! Or better yet...get ready to BUY!

And look how wrong it turned out to be. Domestic drillers are going gang busters to feed into LNG export markets. The US exports more LNG than anyone on the planet and is still building out capacity.
