Parker Drilling Company (PKD)

CAPS Rating:
****

The Company provides land and offshore contract drilling services and rental tools on a worldwide basis to major, independent and national oil and gas companies and integrated service providers.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

The search for oil will go on, and in increasing difficult locations - Parker's specialty.

Lowest priced drilling company of any size, World-wide operation; moderate debt for the industry. Drilling should be hot for the next 10-15 years.

It seems pretty simple to me. If we lift the bans and start drilling like crazy & building new refineries now, we should be just fine 10 years from now. If we don't, 10 years from now we will be royally screwed. Sooner or later the dummies and tree huggers in congress will have to realize this simple concept and do the right thing for our country.

In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
