DON'T BUY
There is risk in the stock market, risk in oil prices and oil stocks are cheap, so why throw the additional risk of litigation on top of this.
DON'T BUY
Cheaply valued but would avoid until controversy is well behind them. Safer way to play this area would be the rig operator, Transocean (RIG-N).
COMMENT
Had a dead cat bounce because it sold off so tremendously and then people thought it had been oversold giving it a bounce followed by a correction. Thinks there is a little bit more on the upside, maybe towards $44. Use of $34 stop loss. For traders only at this stage.
DON'T BUY
It’s tough enough in non-controversial oil companies. Adding the controversy is a layer he doesn’t need.
TOP PICK
You’re sitting listening to all the headline risk. With the US court system, it will be years, probably 12. Thinks risks are overblown. Gulf of Mexico is only 10% of cash flow. There’s been no impact on aggregate cash flow to Gulf Coast businesses from the spill. They have been flat year over year. BP are strong fundamentally. This is one of the great energy companies.
DON'T BUY
The legal system in the US can have completely incalculably consequences. If they are found grossly negligent, every fisherman in the Gulf will sue them.
DON'T BUY
We are only up to 2009 levels. There is a huge liability risk. We are talking about the States so there is no way to estimate the liability.
DON'T BUY
Equity market overreacted and the stock sold off more than would be justified by the potential economic loss. Difficult to assess the political risk in the US.
DON'T BUY
This is a tricky one. They generate a lot of cash so expect they can manage even with the fund they have put aside for the Gulf disaster. The bigger question is what are they eventually going to have to pay out. Not a prudent investment. Too early.
DON'T BUY
On the basis of earnings it is trading a little bit cheaper than the rest of the group. All oil stocks have gotten cheap lately. Wouldn't own this one.
WAIT
If containment cap holds and seabed is ok, not seeping, then it is a screaming buy. Wait until things have been contained.
DON'T BUY
The culpability of any financial and environmental responsibility will rest with them. This is a huge unknown.
DON'T BUY
(Market Call Minute) You have to be gutsy. Too expensive for him. High risk.
WATCH
Stock will move based on a lot of the news around it. Did the right thing by not paying their dividends. Think they will pay out less on the Gulf spill than people expect and will take them a longer time than people expect. Once the bashing by the US government stops, the stock will probably base here and probably go up.
COMMENT
Bonds. Doesn't follow this one closely but with common share dividends being suspended for 3 quarters, this gives more protection to the bonds. Believes they have held their credit rating so far. If you want some risk in your portfolio, this is probably a solid player that will come back.
