Stockchase Opinions

Michael Decter Peak Energy Services PES-T WEAK BUY Nov 24, 2006

The real question in this sector is, who is going to get acquired. There are too many oil service trusts. Rather than buying just one, he would buy a basket.

It's the ideal tool to help you make quicker, more informed decisions for managing and tracking your investments.

You might be interested:

BUY
Investors should be in "growth" income trusts rather than just for distributions. This one is a growth trust which they expect to grow 30/40%.
BUY
The gas services stocks usually are more volatile. They live off the gas price. Has come off because of a timing issue where some of the drilling has slowed down. Might be an interesting time to get in.
BUY
An oil service company. Expects this business to continue to be very vibrant. Companies have a lot of money to spend at these prices. There's a record number of wells being drilled. This sector can drop off very quickly when capital expenditures cease.
BUY
An oil services trust. A lot of their business is in matting so when you have the spring thaw and a lot of trucks are getting stuck, they put out wooden mats. Not without risk, so would own a basket rather than one single trust.
BUY
Oil service sector. Likes the fact that it has a relatively low payout ratio. Relatively low debt. There could be some consolidation in the sector and given the size of this one, it could very well be a candidate.
BUY
Likes the energy services sector. Has been a bit weak over the last 5/6 months. Had a week Q2 because of labour costs. Expect it to rebound.
SELL
Had 2 quarters in a row that disappointed. Does a lot of “low barrier to entry” business.
