Well, the shorts will likely look good, as the price of KOG will fall on the much lower than expected earnings. Actually, ADJ EBITDA slightly beat Dan's cash flow estimates for Q4 and the year. It will likely take Mr. Market a while to pick up on the CF. Meanwhile, a buying opportunity. I have a 150% size position in KOG, that has served me very well. I'll probably move some of that to OAS or Continental Resources. Too many of my stocks are having "buying opportunities" lately.
