Newpark Resources, Inc. (NR)

I'm not sure if the management has the bite to deliver top notch results, but the stock is presently mis-priced. Cash flow is solid and management has been responsibly paying down LT debt in TTM. A buyout seems a lot more likely than bankruptcy at this point.

NR is diversified, The curent ration is 3.0, The 5 and 10 year charts are worth looking at. Was profitable in Brazil. Oil prices have been rising (go figure). Fidelity is a major share holder and has increased its position.

Beat down by the drop in oil prices and as E&P companies have gotten beaten up as well. As the economy levels out and people start driving and the economy picks up and shipping and airlines and all that get back to normal and growing again.

Expensive according to my calculations.

$7.50+/share

ok

This one looks to be taking the upswing. I'm grabbing it now to take the easy points.

I PICKED NEWPARK BECUASE THEY ARE SELLING THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES SECTOR.

THIS WILL SIMPLIFY THEIR BUSINESS, ALLOWING THEM, TO FOCUS ON AND PERFECT THEIR FLUID SYSTEMS, AND MAT AND INTERGRATED SERVICES FOR THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY.

I ALSO LIKE THEIR FORWARD PE FOR NEXT YEAR

This stock will break out to $7.00+ by May and possibly earlier when the sale of Environmental division goes through.

Newpark Resources Inc. provides services for the natural gas and oil drilling industries. Environmental disposal of radioactively occuring deposits from holes, water cleaning and clean up of oil from drillig activities. The demand for extra fuel in USA will push the stock.

I'm diversifying in energy stocks...

oil drillers look like they will now takeoff after faking just about everyone since oil hit $70.

Multi-Service oil play. I really like the oil service sector. These guys get business no matter what price oil is at. I think thats the way to make money off of oil.

Recent drop in a solid stock -- due for a rebound.

re-upping - now at very bottom of uptrend channel, although broke below channel and 200 dayMA intraday - just barely below 50 day, but ended near high of day and energy/oil service sectors starting to show some strength

appears to have broken long-term downtrend - questions about financials and dismissals of CEO and CFO have driven the drop

CAPS 5 star - following some players I respect into this pick
