This account tracks the less exciting stocks from my watch list - companies that are easy to understand with clean balance sheets and good track records in relatively straight-forward industries.

Biz is based only on oil (most of it anyway). Not a good bet unitl the economy turns. If you think we're in a V buy it if you think we're in a tub don't. I'm betting tub!

Necessary industry for a long time coming so no room to lose there. Will grow as the markets increase as well as energy infrastructure expansion.

With the combination of Energy and construction near an all time low this company has good enough numbers to show promise in the near future as these two industries rebound.

Small cap infrastructure play with oil patch exposure has been in the tank recently. Given $1.35-$1.60 epsforward guidance, believe current $6.58 price appears to discount almost all the bad near-term news - attractive fundamental and technical opportunity.

I recently took an interest in MTRX. The company provides construction and a variety of other services to a wide variety of industries. If a project involves steel, or pipe, or turbines, this company can do the job. I get the impression that they can move between sectors to find work. They might work on an oil refinery, or a paper plant, or a power generating station, so they can shift to projects in whatever industry is growing. I looked at a few recent articles and found that the stock was upgraded from a hold to a buy. The articles state that the company looks healthy, the debt is reasonable, etc. I picked the stock back in August after it took a dramatic fall. Now that it has recovered a bit I have about a 14% increase in the past month or two.

Matrix Service Company along with its subsidiaries provides general industrial construction and repair and maintenance services principally to the petroleum, petrochemical, power, bulk storage terminal, pipeline and industrial gas industries. The Construction Services segment provides turnkey construction, civil construction, structural steel erection, mechanical installation, process piping, electrical and instrumentation, fabrication and various other services. Whereas the Repair and Maintenance provides outage and turnaround services, plant maintenance, electrical and instrumentation maintenance, tank inspection, repair and maintenance, industrial cleaning.
The patterns of energy supply in US are changing. The supply of crude oil from Canada is growing along with supply of natural gas from various sources. Large tank projects in US are proliferating, with crude tank farm expansion projects adding 34 million barrels of new capacity in North America.
Matrix has strong relationships with companies involved in the tank, terminal and pipeline business. With the economics of tank construction very attractive, the physical and the paper market supports the tank storage expansion projects in the U.S. Very recently it got selected for the engineering, fabrication and construction of one refrigerated and two spherical storage tanks, having a combined capacity to store approximately 18 million gallons of natural liquid gas (NGL) at Inergy Services production facility at Tupman, California.
The refining and petrochemicals turnaround business is a high margin business, which provides Matrix an opportunity to improve pricing and increase market penetration. Growing its business in the Gulf coast could prove to be an meaningful opportunity for Matrix. With business mix transitioning steadily from power generation to petroleum-focused opportunities, long-term investors can consider this stock.
