The serial sell offs this week have created some reasonable buy in prices, including this 8% fall on Friday's PTEN price. Long term hold. Real buy.

U.S. Drilling Climbs AgainBy: Zacks Equity Research January 25, 2010
.... We also maintain our Neutral recommendations for land drillers such as Nabors Industries (NBR - Analyst Report) and Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN - Analyst Report). Although we expect the land rig count to continue with its steady rise during 2010, the large amount of excess capacity in the sector will weigh on dayrates and margins well into the year.
