758.0. "Getty Petroleum (GTY)" by NETRIX::michaud (Jeff Michaud, PATHWORKS for Win. NT) Fri Aug 12 1994 14:44

	Any one know why Getty (GTY on the NYSE) reached a new 52 week
	low yesterday?

	Volume for the last month of so has been less than 1,000 per
	trading day, and yesterday the volume was around 4,000 and
	the price dropped.

	I'm also curious what the difference is between control and holding
	of the common stock.  The March 31, 1994 S&P 500 report for it
	under capitalization:

Common Stock: 12,617,788 shs. ($0.10 par).
Officers and directors control 47%
Institutions hold about 13%
Shareholders of record: 3,400

	Is "control" in this case equiv to "hold" (ie. owning)?

758.1Nigeria Labor StrikeMR2MI1::BMORRISONFri Aug 12 1994 18:054
    My guess is that Getty is heavily involved in Nigeria where there
    is a labor strike. No oil is coming out of there. That is what
    is causing the higher prices at the pump recently. At least that
    is what the oil companies tell us.
