BUY

The king of the drillers. Over the long term, should continue up. Becoming more well versed in international operations. Would also Buy Calfrac Well Services (CFW-T) and Producers Oilfield Services (POS-T). Took profits on this one so doesn't own currently.

BUY

Has done very well. Bullish on drilling as he feels drilling will remain very active and will probably increase. Has very strong EBITDA margins at 44%. Trades in line with its peers although it's growing faster. Trades at a discount to its US comparables.

BUY

Oil services companies have a seasonal component. Once the spring break-up comes in the north, it's very difficult to move oil rigs around. Views the oil services as longer term plays. Prospects for the entire group is pretty good.

DON'T BUY

Drilling in Canada is sort of a duopoly between this and Ensign (ESI-T). The problem is the drilling cycle, so far, has a record number of wells looking like another record being set. Drilling stocks reflects that. Historically juniors have just thrown money at the drillers, but are more disciplined now. Would rather play the producers than the drillers.

TOP PICK

(Top Sell) Sold 1/3 to 1/4 when it went north of $80 mark. Typically falls in the spring when the drilling season is over and then languishes for a few months.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Has just broken into new high ground. Like a lot of the oil and gas stocks it has been marking time since October when oil prices peaked out at $55. Likes the whole group of drilling companies. Drilling and service companies will do well for the next few years, no matter what happens to the price of oil. Try to buy on a pull-back.

TOP PICK

Still thinks it has room to go. Not counting on the unit trust rumour that's going around, but it would help. Undervalued relative to its peers. Has good momentum. Industry is poised for a few really good years of profitability.

TOP PICK

Western Canadian decline rates are getting steeper and steeper, so more wells have to be drilled just to keep production flat. Utilization rates are high and are going to go higher. Rig rates are high. Made a very timely acquisition of a rig fleet. Also a potential to become an income trust.

TOP PICK

Over the last few years they have internationalized themselves. Now a global operation. Rigs for drilling are in short supply. as soon as freeze-up comes, they'll be going full tilt.

BUY

Likes the drillers. Cash flow that is being generated out west by oil companies is being poured back into drilling. Prefers Ensign as the vauations looks a little more attractive. A very well run company.

BUY

Trading a little richer than some of the other oil service names, but it has an international presence, cash flow is expanding giving it a higher multiple. Should go higher.

BUY

Feels there is upside on the stock. Earnings are good. Trades at a discount to the big 3 in the US. Their international division shows a lot of promise. Reasonably priced on earnings.

BUY

Was considering, but the recent runup caused him to look elsewhere. Prefers Ensign which trades at a significant valuation discount to this one. Expects drilling activity will be high.

BUY

Will probably peak out at around $75-$80. Will continue to be busy.

BUY

Earnings just reported were pretty good. A little bit of problems still in the technical services group. All indications are that they are going to have a blow-out year.
