This is one of my STARZ.
Here is the thought process on this STAR:
a) Divided rate over Zero
b) 3 Year Beta between -5 & +3
c) 15% + Insider ownership
d) No greater than -50% Growth rate for the last 3 years (tough last couple of years so good that insiders are still owning the stocks)
e) Current CAPS rating between 3 Stars & 5 Stars
Open to all Industries and Sectors screened this down to just 250 stocks. I like round numbers. 12 of them I already own through other screening tools. I tend to be somewhat conservative but looking for 3 things at this point in my investing:
1. Stability & Strength
2. Yield and Modest Growth
3. Strong Position within a sector regardless of whether the
entire sector is strong or not. Each sector has to perform to some degree for the whole world economy to function. I am looking for 5 or more years down the road, ROI, and Growth. Not looking for rockets, just stars. This is a Star!!

What is everyone buying here? Please tell me I don't see it. Leveraged to shale natural gas which will not likely recover until sometime next year (at best). CEO in webcast says that will likely default loan conenants later this year.
Losing money according to last two quarters at rates it cannot substain. Operates in a shrinking market with an oversupply of equipment.
Has very little operating cash in the bank and doubtful at best lines of credit...So someone tell me what underlying value I have missed. I sure would like to see that light everyone else must be seeing to double the stock since a very bleak last quarter announcement and comments by the CEO.

Falling 50-day moving average and one of the largest intraday high-low ranges (based on the average percent spread between the intraday high and low over the last fifty days).

Company stinks. Long term they will diminish. Mostly due to their ethics. Don't put your money here. Poor quality company. This will be their downfall. STAY AWAY!!!

End July 09.
Market cap is ~$150 Mil
PE is less than 7
The company brings in ~$60 Mil cash after taxes every year.
Margin has been going down lately... but this is to be expected in this industry with this economy. It should pick up again once oil is back up.
Company has low debt/cash ratio. Should be able to weather the storm.
Buying at 1/2 book value... I dont think this can go wrong.

The oilfield service companies have been getting killed as oil prices have dropped. It may be time to add some select outperforms. Superior is involved in horizontal well technology which is being utilized more and more. Debt is low and the stock price should be close to a bottom. Once oil heads back up so will SWSI.

Good Service, Great Prices, SAME TECHNOLOGY = SUCESS. This company has surprized many people in the energy industry. It should not be as far along as it is today. How did they do it? Simple - GROWTH. This company is re-investing it's capital back into equipment and qualified people. It seems the business is not as complex as SLB & HAL make it out to be...... What if a company can offer Good Service, Great Prices, SAME TECHNOLOGY in a business that is not going anywhere - anytime soon? Maybe SLB & HAL need to focus on the East. Not the West.

The stock is being sold be insiders. There is no real effort to grow the company from what I see. You could say there is a problem or maybe they have a game plan I don't know about. If you got in early like I did it was OK, But I am unloading over the next few months. I may keep some.

In general the new oil and gas fields being developed in the U.S. lower 48 are literally a bonanza for the well servicing companies. The formations holding the hydrocarbons are tight. It takes extreme fracing measures to force the release of the desired products. SWSI will be applying these extreme measures and be paid handsomely for the effort.
As an example. Twenty five to thirty years ago there was a well service company just next door to my business. Each mourning the trucks would would leave on a job. In the evening they would return, job finished. Now compare that to a frac job on a well in the Barnett Shale Zone(around Ft. Worth). Ten days 24-7 are normal. That's a lot of extra work for SWSI.
