What an odd day. No follow through on oil stocks today despite oil moving up.

PFL not kind to me today. Luckily I sold all the stock I had in profit between 130 over the last week or so. It looks like the rest become a long term holding although I shall have to appraise as I'm not sure that's a good decision.
