 Don't Ignore Your Tax Deductions!
It’s hard to believe that I am writing a column for November when the temperature is still in the mid-90’s and the GCAGS Convention starts this coming weekend! Oh well, I guess the HGS Editorial Board needs to keep production on time.

 Presidential Ponderings
It’s my last chance to ponder. And it is a unique opportunity to wonder and express thanks.

Presidential Ponderings
It’s nearly the end; one more column to ponder after this and much of it usually thanks the numerous members and sponsors who have had an impact on HGS activities throughout the fiscal year. This has led me to review some of my ponderings and look back at whether I was successful or not. Fortunately, the momentum of HGS is such that I didn’t break anything, although there was a lot of bending.

Presidential Ponderings
Unlike last month, the sun is shining, the temperature is nice, but I am still pondering anew. Because of the late 4th quarter downturn, the 1st quarter continuance, and the need to tell members that “It’s only over if you want it to be;” I’m pondering the present and the past of oil field employment.

Presidential Ponderings
It’s a wet and cold day in January as I ponder what to expect from oil by the time you read this in March. As I look at the different web sites I see that the WTI price is $45.60 for February delivery and natural gas is $2.88 and gasoline by my house is $1.85 to $1.89. From last month, that’s down $30.00 for oil, about $0.84, and $0.84 respectively, from my ponderings last month. Goldman Sachs is calling for oil to fall to $40.00 and Bloomberg TV says that oil will make a significant recovery in two to three years. Forbes doesn’t know where the floor is but doesn’t expect oil to go above $60 through 2016. I have heard of early retirement packages, quiet layoffs, global layoffs, rig demobilizations, and budget cutbacks. Where will all of this take us?

Well, as Christmas has come and gone, it’s time to ponder what you might want to read in February. It will be old news by then, but gasoline is under $2.40 per gallon on the west side of Houston. |

Greetings and Happy New Year! The New Year brings us new opportunities, new decisions, and new ponderings. As I write this column, oil prices are hovering around $75 per barrel. |
