WEAK BUY

The stock looks pretty good. Most stocks in that sector look pretty good. It's an oil stock which will be affected by China and India.

TOP PICK

The largest oil field services in Canada. Will benefit strongly from the record drilling activity. 4th quarter results greatly exceeded expectations.

TOP PICK

9% yield. Just came out with a great earnings statement. If you want to participate in the drilling servicing sector this is the way to do it.

DON'T BUY

Has a bit of a premium valuation because it is the gorilla in this space. Prefers Trinidad Energy Services (TDG.UN-T).

BUY

Price gap. Coming back towards that now. Descent buying opportunity.

DON'T BUY

Once they became an income trust, he lost all interest in this company. Hasn't done anything like the oil patch stocks.

TOP PICK

The largest driller with about 230 rigs. Building out about another 15/20 more this year. They have the ability to set prices in the market. Last year they increased the day rates on their rigs by about 15%.

WEAK BUY

Prefers other ways to play the drilling side, but it's a fine company.

HOLD

The largest contract driller in Canada, operating more than 400 rigs. Drilling activity in western Canada will be very intense. Rates are up to 10% higher than last year. If you don't own, try to buy at a lower price.

BUY

It is the largest driller in the western Canadian sedimentary basin. Considered the blue chip in the drilling industry. A reasonable yield of 8.3%. Pays out about 87% of its free cash flow. Planning to spend in capital expenditures about $285 million with over half of it for new equipment.

PAST TOP PICK

(The corporate company was a Top Pick Sept 16/05. Up 51%, but this includes extra pricing from the original company. Not comparing apples to apples.) Likes this name longer term but it is getting pretty expensive. Growth profile will continue.

BUY

The #1 services company in Canada and #2 in North America. They have a good footprint everywhere. Oil companies have a lot of cash and will be spending it on exploration.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Would preferred to buy this at $36/37 levels. A well-managed company and it should do well in this robust commodity price environment with lots of drilling in western Canada.

BUY

An excellent name. The prospects over the next six to eight months are very good. Looking for increases in day rates of 15% range. 80% payout ratio. Should continue to have strong growth.

BUY

3rd quarter results were spectacular indicating record drilling, record spending activity. Yield is fairly low.
