| BUY | 72.860 | Norman Levine | He is warm towards oil service companies. This is international. | 2012-01-19 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 69.140 | John Stephenson | (A Top Pick Nov 26/10. Down 9.16%.) Sold his holdings at a profit. | 2011-12-23 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 75.970 | John Stephenson | (A Top Pick Nov 26/10. Up 0.57%.) | 2011-11-15 | |
| DON'T BUY | 62.640 | Don Vialoux | Technically it is not doing very well. Like most oil service companies and has been trying to base out. Seasonally it normally goes up from January until April. Too early yet. | 2011-10-07 | |
| WAIT | 72.380 | Joanne A. Hruska, CFA | 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. | 2011-09-12 | |
| HOLD | 77.330 | Karl Berger | You can afford to wait if it is a small exposure. Excellent operators. Will be robust industry going forward. No issue with the name. | 2011-08-30 | |
| HOLD | 85.930 | Don Vialoux | 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 | 2011-03-18 | |
| TOP PICK | 86.910 | John Stephenson | A leader in oil field services. The off shore, more complex and challenging environment favors the majors. | 2011-01-17 | |
| TOP PICK | 75.980 | John Stephenson | 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. | 2010-11-26 | |
| WATCH | 76.430 | Hap (Robert) Sneddon FCSI | 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. | 2010-11-19 | |
| TOP PICK | 53.330 | John Stephenson | 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. | 2010-08-31 | |
| BUY | 59.350 | John Stephenson | 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. | 2010-07-23 | |
| DON'T BUY | 57.140 | David Driscoll | 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. | 2010-06-24 | |
| STRONG BUY | 56.150 | John Stephenson | 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. | 2010-05-28 | |
| DON'T BUY | 63.900 | David Burrows | 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. | 2010-02-19 | |
| BUY | 70.650 | Ross Healy | 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. | 2010-01-11 | |
| BUY | 65.130 | John Stephenson | Global oilfield service company. Do very complicated downhole techniques, moving the drill bit in three dimensions and guiding it. Very attractive business. | 2009-11-09 | |
| BUY | 57.340 | John Stephenson | 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. | 2009-07-24 | |
| TOP PICK | 38.170 | Ron Ianieri | 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. | 2009-02-26 | |

| Comment | 41.100 | David Driscoll | One of the largest oil field service companies globally. Good at what they do. Went up mostly because of hedge funds and commodity prices may go sideways for quite a while. Would prefer in the mid-$20's. | 2008-12-12 | |
| TOP PICK | 43.630 | Ron Ianieri | He likes oil and oil service at these prices. This one is a class act. When we start coming out of this market, (Asia will be first) demand for oil is going to fly and the US$ is going to get hurt. Use a longer-term option out to 2010/2011. | 2008-12-10 | |
| Comment | 49.990 | Jean-Francois Tardif | Long-term, he believes oil prices are going to go to $200 within the next 5 years because of a decline in production and demands that are eventually going to come out of China. Oil/gas service companies will benefit from this. In the short term, the stock could drop further. When oil starts to go back up, this stock will move back up. | 2008-10-17 | |
| Comment | 85.450 | Don Reed | Oil services is a good place to be, primarily because there are shortages of oil. | 2008-02-22 | |
| BUY on WEAKNESS | 90.390 | Norman Levine | One of the leading global oil service companies. Businesses great for them and should continue so. Stock is only down because of general market conditions. | 2007-12-18 | |
| BUY | 95.720 | Norman Levine | The outlook for energy drilling stocks will continue to look good globally. This is the biggest energy drilling services company and is the major beneficiary. | 2007-08-29 | |
| BUY | 67.310 | Norman Levine | Prefers over a Canadian driller. | 2006-12-05 | |
| DON'T BUY | 80.580 | Brian Acker, CA | His model price is $55.84 which is a negative 31% differential. This one is always above his model price. | 2005-10-20 | |
| BUY | 40.750 | Brian Acker, CA | A great trade now. | 2002-07-25 | |
| DON'T BUY | 61.700 | Jeff Morrison | Likes the energy/service sector, but feels the company lacks focus. Prefers Haliburton | 2001-04-10 | |
| DON'T BUY | 77.000 | Noah Blackstein, B.A., CFA | Interesting company, but prefers Baker Hughes | 2001-01-08 |
