Q: I have held MX for a few years and watched it bounce up and down and have never been smart enough to take advantage of its cyclicality and sell on its way up. Its currently at the lower end of its trading band. If it were you, would you wait for the next leg up to sell and move into CNQ or would you make the trade now? My hesitancy is that MX would appear to have a much higher short/medium term potential than CNQ and I would hate to miss that,

Thanks
Scott

Such predictions are of course hard to get accurate. MX is very cheap right now at 9X earnings....
