How low can you go ?! FWIW: I read article in Barrons this morning. It states oil "could "go to $35 -$40 range then stabelize around $60.

if what you say is true, & I have no doubt that it is, shouldn't my MF managers be doing just what you said . DCA into beaten down companies. Or should I be adding to my positions to more or less "double down" ?!
