Still (stubbornly and wrongly) shorting energy on a slowing economy. I shall take my losses when I see some decent growth coming. Until then, I want to be short spreads and energy margins generally. Services would seem in line for a haircut, should I ever get this one right, so despite NOV's gold-standard business, I want to be short their stock for a while.

When energy/drilling does turn, and it will, you will have a coiled spring of points to collect. Drilling is truly cyclical, and will turn down painfully, but I believe you are a little early. New rigs are coming online now and through 2008 which will increase the supply and drop the day rates. When this happens you will see a sheer drop. I predict July of 2008.
