WAIT

Has traded in the last year. Bought last summer at 10-11x earnings. 5 Year average is 17 with 14-21 standard deviation. They are at 14 now. We are getting closer to range where she wants to buy it. People are scared of investing in the energy space but the service sector is absolutely on fire. Close to record earnings in the last quarter and quarter before. They are leader in the space.

HOLD

You can afford to wait if it is a small exposure. Excellent operators. Will be robust industry going forward. No issue with the name.

HOLD

Now is the time you want to be in the oil service sector (Jan until end of May). Backed off during the last couple of weeks. Another in the sector hit a new high today. Stick with it

TOP PICK

A leader in oil field services. The off shore, more complex and challenging environment favors the majors.

TOP PICK

Could come close to $100 a share. Very sophisticated down-hole tools. Ability to model reservoirs. Have software tools that are very high margin. Recently restructured N.A. business, which will start giving them good earnings momentum in the 4th quarter.

WATCH

Just had a bit of a breakout and has support at $75. Pretty clear sailing but there will be some resistance at $89. Would wait for about 10 days to see if there is any correction and to know where we are at.

TOP PICK

If you believe we are going into a commodity boom in the next year, you go into this one. Best technology and best mix of products.

BUY

Earnings are up but the stock keeps on falling. Getting tarred with the same brush as the Halliburtons of the world. There is a question in people's minds as to what is going to happen in the Gulf of Mexico and is the moratorium going to be extended. This is an opportunity.

DON'T BUY

Has side tracked the British Petroleum (BP-N) situation whereas their rivals Halliburton (HAL-N) and Transocean (RIG-N) are caught in the middle of everything. Trading at 20X earnings, which is too expensive for him in this environment.

STRONG BUY

All of these types of stocks have gotten trashed lately, particularly with the spill/leak in the Gulf. A global player that does very sophisticated things. There will be a positive snap back in all of these stocks.

DON'T BUY

You could use this as an opportunity to buy it, but if they do make a bid for Smith, it could be soft for a time.

BUY

His FMV calculation is well over $100. Technically it has just broken out and pulled back to a nice support level of around $60-$61 so it could go on. If the $60-$61 doesn't hold, Sell.

BUY

Global oilfield service company. Do very complicated downhole techniques, moving the drill bit in three dimensions and guiding it. Very attractive business.

BUY

Because this is a global name, you would be better served to be in it. The large majors spend money on specialized skills that they don't have.

TOP PICK

Oil is down because of a global recession and he doesn't think it's going to last. This one always performs well. As well he would buy an “out month” in the money Call, maybe 2011 and Sell on a ratio “out of the money” front month calls to bring in a little premium to help with the cost of the “out month” option.
