Camp F, I believe that this time we are seeing a "Game Changer" with the falling oil price
I don't believe this to be true, the oil price has fallen before but it will come back.
as a general rule though I think its a lot harder for everyone now than it was in previous years, not just in this in this industry but in all industries.
