DON'T BUY

Current price fully reflects the earnings out to 2012. Likes the drillers and the servicing companies but prefers others.

COMMENT

Came a long way in a relatively short time. Lately day rates have gone up quite a bit on rigs resulting in the stock price moving up precipitously. Wouldn’t Buy at these prices, but hasn’t taken profits yet, but is considering doing so. Upside is limited.

HOLD

Oil and gas really took a hit and gas prices collapsed. Had a number of drilling companies with idle rigs. They have worked their way through that and now they’re making very good money on the rigs they have. Expect that drilling companies will continue to do well.

COMMENT

The leading and largest of the drilling companies. Have a great and new fleet. Currently trying to pay down their debt. Next, cash flow might go towards new rigs, etc. They will never be a high dividend paying security.

STRONG BUY

This is the top of his list of 3000 names right now. You cannot argue with the momentum of this stock. It’s just correcting back to its trend line. Now is the time to build to a full position.

BUY

Benefiting from a strong increase in activity the western Canadian sedentary basin as well as the US. Very strong in terms of rig count and activity. There is a lot of focus on drilling with oil going through $100. Doesn’t anticipate that they will reinstate a dividend soon.

BUY

Run up since October is pretty straight. The only dip was about $1 in March. Great looking chart. Nice base last year. Fundamentals are extremely strong. $15-$16 is pretty easy. Exit point would be at $12.50. (See Top Picks.)

COMMENT

Oil prices are up. Looking for oil in safe areas of the world is the paramount thing for investors. This one has taken off and it’s difficult to get into. Consider a half position. You might also want to consider Trican Well Service (TCW-T) with 70% of their business in the fracturing business..

BUY

Oil service seasonality is from end of Jan until end of May. Even though market is going lower, this one went into a 2.5 year high today. A big increase in the money being spend on oil services in 2011 from last year. Stick with it until May.

BUY

Drillers and service sector will be a beneficiary for what’s going on. Exploration companies are going to hire drilling companies. Prefers Trican. This cycle has a long way to go.

BUY

Wouldn’t be one of her all time favourite service companies but she likes it here. With present oil prices there will be lots of drilling. Cheap (See Top Picks.)

BUY

Has a lot of drilling rigs in the oil service sector. She has been very bullish on this sector for the last 6 months. She is still buying.

HOLD

Similar chart to all the drillers. Went through a difficult time and has been successful since. He would prefer one of the other drillers, but hold it. Prefers TCW or Pheonix.
