TOP PICK
They are in a good field, but have not moved up with the oil and gas sector. Losing some money. Good management.
TOP PICK
In the seismic data processing field which is a fabulous sector. On this stock, they have been so wrong for so long it has been embarrassing. They have relatively new management which feels they have some good opportunities this winter. He wants to give them the benefit of the doubt.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 30/06. Down 36%.) Oil service industry. Didn't make money even during the boom. May be too small.
HOLD
Very small player. Have about $20 million in revenues. Having trouble attracting people. Moved into Libya and hired 2 university graduates for engineers! Have to make more deals to improve the bottom line.
COMMENT
The seismic field was having a lot of problems even though oil/gas companies were doing very well. This is a small player with about $20 million of revenues. Larger companies are able to hire workers for more money. Hopeful that someone will take them out.
COMMENT
Having difficulties. Basically a break even, lose a little money proposition. Have a contract in Libya now. But may have to close the Libya and London offices which will cost them money and limit their future possibilities.
WEAK BUY
Still owns it. Have bought more in the past year. Still likes it. Short term, they may close some of there foreign offices. It would be a long term play, short term there is nothing to get excited about. At 16 cents it's a bargain. Target price is near 70 cents.
DON'T BUY
Seismic service company. Trading at its tax loss value indicating management has continued to produce losses over time. In the boom times of 2005/2006 it wasn't able to achieve the margins of its peers. Would prefer a company like Divestco (DVT-T) or Destiny Resource Services (DSC-T).
BUY
(Market Call Minute.) Has been wrong on this one for years.
SELL
(Market Call Minute) Just sold it.
