May be foolish questions1. How will $50 oil (in a year) impact its future growth potential?2. Considering the highly capital intensive industry, with credit tightening and cost of credit going up, wont it hit its earnings?

Gold climbs, domestic oil needs increase, demand for wood stays even (maybe slightly increased) and who benefits ? The companies that provide the infrastucture and the support for the miners and harvesters of this world.

Graham Value pick, @ $26/share, P/E=7.20, P/B =1.0; P/E*P/B= 7.20; Current Ratio = 2.30; LT Debt to Owner's Equity = 0.11. $25/share is arbitrary (6% below price on 11-9-2009).
