As commodity prices go up this one should do better. He likes the management and their philosophy. The balance sheet is in good shape. He thinks most of the tax loss selling has been done and it will go up now. He would like to find a good entry point to buy into it.

This is basically the canary in the mineshaft for the mining space. The miners have done really well, so this is the major way to play the recovery and resurgence of interest in the mining sector.

He wishes he had bought into this. Clean, clean balance sheet. Good management. They eliminated the dividend, which was probably a smart move. A leader in the field and thinks it will survive. It has potential to do better than a double from here, but it could get hit in the short term.

The drillers have all had a little bit of problem recently. This one is a little bit more exposed to the mining side, which continues to be very, very challenged. If you want a drilling company, he would prefer CanElson Drilling (CDI-T), which has done a good job. Has exposure to Mexico, North Dakota and Canada. Also, has a dividend yield of about 4%.

(Market call Minute) Prefers equipment space, not the drillers.
