The recent management decision to reduce dividend payments and use that capital to reduce debt is actually a positive for future performance.
The natural gas industry as a whole needs sustained prices above $5 per mcf to support the necessary economics for exploration and drilling.
Current legislation and future energy policy clarification may result in up to a 40% pop within the next 18 to 24 months.

SCORE LEADER SAYS: El Paso is a good company but it's got TOO MUCH DEBT leverage. Rising refinancing costs, and looming natural gas price declines due to over production have destroyed any near term upside. R.I.P. EL PASO... SEE YOU IN BANKRUPTCY
