May be foolish questions1. How will $50 oil (in a year) impact its future growth potential?2. Considering the highly capital intensive industry, with credit tightening and cost of credit going up, wont it hit its earnings?

Besides being a contract driller, Rowan manufactures equipment. The latter pushed me into its arms as an invester. It has the advantage of manufacturing for three industries that are going to need its products... desperately. Drilling rigs, mining equipment and timber harvesters. I call that a sweet spot. Bring it!
