pros:

1. oil spill crisis has been going on for sometime, ATPG has been going down accordingly, today\'s press would be something of maximum fear, a lot of people has been discussing the impact of oil spill and anticipating the fear.

2. I learned that atpg does not need new permits, this is critical. It is their management team\'s estimate that they will not be affected by current ban of permit suspension, of course they did not consider the new news: extension of the ban for another 6 months.

3. Oil price is bouncing back

4. General market is bouncing back.

5. US economy needs oil/gas from deep sea gulf.

Cons,

1. Obama said suspending 33 current projects in the Gulf, will it impact atpg, do not know.

2. future change of regulation on deep sea drilling in gulf. well, you have to take some risk when investing.
