| BUY | 45.090 | Don Lato | In the oil sector on the US side he is primarily focused on the drillers and his favourite stocks are Halliburton (HAL-N) and Transocean (RIG-N). | 2008-08-13 | |
| BUY | 42.160 | Don Lato | Very positive on this one. Has great potential because it has long-term contracts. | 2008-04-09 | |
| TOP PICK | 37.920 | Gordon Reid | Oil services. Just recently spun off the unit that was involved in the Iraqi construction area. More and more of the budgets of large integrated oil companies are going to exploration and this company gets its share. Trades at very reasonable multiples, 13X this year's earnings and 11X next year’s. | 2008-03-12 | |
| Comment | 36.160 | Don Reed | Oil services is a good place to be, primarily because there are shortages of oil. | 2008-02-22 | |
| DON'T BUY | 36.200 | David Baskin | Feels it will be the subject at some point of congressional investigation in the US based on the amount of money it's made in Iraqi during the Bush administration. | 2007-06-19 | |
| DON'T BUY | 32.600 | David Baskin | Relocating their company to Dubai. The worst kind of example of the US being unable to separate the political from the industrial. Too many uncertainties. Wouldn't touch this one with a barge pole. | 2007-04-09 | |
| DON'T BUY | 31.340 | Charles Lannon | His fear with oil is that there are all sorts of warning signs. This one is a bit rich. Suggests you look at Technip (TKP-N), a French engineering firm. | 2007-03-01 | |
| BUY | 30.270 | John Stephenson | A good name. Has some overhang from Iraq and contracting scandal, but it is a premier name in the oil field services industry. One of the few that can support the global majors. | 2007-02-21 | |
| BUY | 29.000 | John Stephenson | Service company that not only provides drilling, but also down hole services. Global company and diversified. 13 X forward earnings, so undervalued. | 2007-01-05 | |
| BUY | 29.480 | John Zechner | On valuation and growth potential, US oil/gas are looking better than Canadian. The near-term risk is the cutbacks in capital spending. You will get some good tradeable bounces. | 2006-10-16 | |
| BUY | 33.730 | Bill Harris, CFA | With the high price of oil, companies are flush with cash and they are spending it. The extra money is going to the service companies. This company is in great shape for that. | 2006-08-01 | |
| BUY | 78.150 | David Burrows | Thinks this one is going higher. Likes energy services. This group has pricing power right now. | 2006-04-28 | |
| BUY | 78.400 | John Zechner | More expensive than the Canadian drillers, but think the drillers will continue to do well. | 2006-04-26 | |
| BUY | 42.200 | Michael Smedley | A very good general oil services operating globally. There's a desperate need for these companies to be hired by the oil/gas producers. Still optimistic on oil/gas. | 2005-01-19 | |
| TOP PICK | 30.120 | Barbara Marcin | | 2004-09-03 | |
| TOP PICK | 73.770 | C. KIm Goodwin | Has corrected because investors are concerned about auto production, but they have great diversification. Into high end entertainment systems. 15% revenue grower. 25% earnings grower. | 2004-05-21 | |
| WEAK BUY | 22.500 | Gavin Graham | Had some accounting concerns.PE is 26 times.Helping to rebuild Iraq.A controversial stock. | 2003-08-06 | |

| DON'T BUY | 16.070 | Gavin Graham | Asbestos problems, so speculative. | 2002-03-14 | |
| DON'T BUY | 17.380 | John McColl | Too many legal problems on asbestos. On the oil side, would prefer Precision Drilling. | 2002-03-07 | |
| BUY | 10.250 | Ray Steele | Wait for energy sector to recover. Prices are low, but there will be a wait. | 2002-01-16 | |
| DON'T BUY | 10.250 | Ray Steele | Not bullish on the oils now. | 2002-01-16 | |
| DON'T BUY | 10.990 | Jeff Morrison | Too dangerous because of asbestos law suit. | 2002-01-08 | |
| DON'T BUY | 13.190 | Brian Acker, CA | Could go down furher. A lot of law suits. | 2001-12-28 | |

| BUY | 36.400 | Jeff Morrison | Likes the energy/service sector. Prefers over Slumberger | 2001-04-10 | |
