As with Big Oil, the current economy is in a spiral downturn reducing demand. Since demand is in short supply, I expect the need for offshore drilling equipment to be reciprocal with demand for oil. I don't see things changing much in the next 3 to 6 months... therefore I choose UNDERPERFORM

Poor book of business for future less than 40% of last year.

In the drilling space RIG is certainly my top pick. Unfortunately there's certainly no telling when the U.S. or global demand for oil /gas will trully pickup. Even when demand does begin to pickup again, it'll likely take a while to markedly impact oil & gas prices. I wouldn't expect any significant improvement on that front until mid-2010 or early 2011 at best.

The chart is terrible! Barring a war, this thing is heading much lower. World oil demand is only growing 1 1/2 percent per year yet oil more than doubles? The numbers don't jive! I see a bubble bursting. There may be a last thrash of the Dino's tail in the process.

With Transocean staying steady or increasing in price these days, I foresee a decent rise in price to start with a steady decline over a year or so as gas prices start to reach new records, there will eventually be a downturn. What goes up...Must come down..

hurricane season may wreak havoc on offshore drilling operations this year.

Valuation is too high even for a crude stock.

OK, any stock related to gas has the potential to do well this year with the rise of pertroleum prices, but I think this one is topped for now. I see a 15% drop over the next few weeks. I suppose I would short this one.

Reload after a +6 and a clueless +2 from back when I didn't understand the stupid, trinary "accuracy" premium that makes me gag whenever I consider it. Defenses of same welcome as replies to my pitches. Do look a few score histograms first, though. I have a couple blog posts in which I link to same. Check 'em out.

On the stock, my pitch ran, "[s]lowdown plus convergence-to-crude play. Oil complex prices are ahead of themselves versus spreads and crude prices." Too bad I couldn't have gone long crude futures in CAPS the way I was able to in the commodities markets, huh? But then you'd need weightings, too, and someone might be tempted to use a modern risk-adjusted performance measure. That might threaten the not-invented-here crowd.
