HOLD

(Market Call Minute.) Recovered somewhat. A lot of it is gas oriented. A hold at best.

HOLD

(Market Call Minute)

BUY

One of the largest land-based drillers. Half of their 450 drills are in use. Tremendous upside leverage in this company. Hopefully they will restore the dividend at some point. He is looking at buying it.

DON'T BUY

The key to this is when gas markets recover. An international company but still has a lot of drilling rigs in the Western Canadian basin, which is primarily gas. Until gas gets up in the $6-$7 range, there won't be a big influx of drilling.

DON'T BUY

If there were an upturn in drilling, there would be a marked improvement in the price of this. That's a big if and when. It won't happen this winter. Have moved into some of the major shale plays in the US.

SELL

(Market Call Minute) Very worried about natural gas.

HOLD

Has recently shown up on his radar screen. Selling at a modest multiple of what its normalized earnings would be. Looking attractive and potentially has some good upside.

TOP PICK

Very large premium drilling company. Thinks the bottom in drilling is now past.

DON'T BUY

Has cleaned up its balance sheets and done a lot of things right but think it's fairly valued here.

COMMENT

Recovered quite a lot from its lows. Partially a reflection on the increased activity in the oil services patch. This is a leader in this field. Outlook for the business is quite good but expect distributions could be cut.

DON'T BUY

Should be one she loves, but when second quarter results came out they showed no penetration into the market.

BUY

200-day moving average has intersected and the stock is starting to rise. May have a tiny pullback to about $6.80-$6.90 but expects it will be a significantly better than it has.

DON'T BUY

Doesn't like exposure to drillers in Alberta gas. Has stayed focused on oil because the economics look very good. Would prefer something like Carbo Ceramics (CRR-N), which does gas for fraqing or equipment companies like FMC Technologies (FTI-N).

BUY

Believes natural gas market has turned and drillers are at the bottom of their cycle. This will be one of the worlds great drilling companies going forward. He owns Cathedral Energy (CET.UN-T). You should also look at Pason Systems (PSI-T) or Transocean (RIG-N).

COMMENT

(Market Call Minute.) Drillers look very interesting here. Would buy Trinidad Drilling (TDG-T) before this one but we are entering a period when you can buy the drillers.
