Basic Energy Services, Inc. (BAS)

Low P/E Stock with solid growth

low PEG, location in Permian Basin of West Tecas

This met a high level screen to indicate a sell and strong underperform against its peers (other tickers in its industry). My 1st version of this spreadsheet devles deep into the company's balance sheet and recent income statements, combined with other relevant price data for the company including insider/institutional holdings, short interest, debt levels, etc.
I'm testing capabilities of this 1st version of my automated, valuation spreadsheet matched with my personal criteria and see how it holds up.

A stock of the day pick-seems reasonably valued

Valuation is ridiculously low

Strategic acquisitions over past 3 yrs

LBO target

performer going in right direction

oil

If you read my pitches, then you've read this a dozen times already. I'll repeat myself again, though.

Oil makes money. Oil is good.

Now oil isn't going to last forever. For right now, though, you can make serious bank with it.

Nanotechnology is the next big thing. BASF invests much in research and development of products using nanotechnology.

low p/e, low price to sales, high demand for oil

Looks like another oil services play with a reasonable PE and potential to keep moving up with the sector.

Oil Equipment - Great Intrinsic Value ratio

With the energy crunch, companies are looking anywhere they can to gain mining rights, and start new operations, the world still has plenty of oil left to profit from, at inflated prices, this means those that are with that crowd will profit handsomely, if they can be morally ignorant.

$38+

FPE strategy.

Cannot go wrong with energy stocks this year ... a definite buy

One of few stocks in the world that operates in an industry outside of the FIRE sector of economy (FIRE = Financial, Insurance & Real Estate).
In fact, not only does this company operate outside of FIRE, but it offers good future dividend potential, great valuation to earning potential, and is a great pick within its respective sector.



These are companies I'd put my money into right now rather than into residential real estate, apartment buildings, other stocks, commodities, or bonds. Few may fail, but just as many will quadruple within the next decade.


BUY.


bullish on nws, hnsn, prxl, aray, chp, navi, hero, bas, pcz, cybx, feic, ebay



These picks are within this CAPs account that is market neutral - all longs are offset by a short. All long & short picks are diversified across industries & world location to limit downside exposure. This CAPS account will maintain at the very least 20 picks and at the very most 80 picks. Picks will be ended in long/short pairs to remain neutral.

Oil and gas services should be a good sector to be in next year as prices recover, and Basic is in sound enough financial shape to be a safe bet for solid performance.

Yeah, the new Administration is down on fossil fuels, but all that means to me is that you won't have to worry about the government picking winners and losers. I'll take the market over gaming government contracts any day of the week!

Profitable even when theyre screwing stuff up in the field.
