Vantage Drilling Company (AMEX:VTG)

Earnings report in the next couple days should be good...consensus analyst targets are well above the current trading value. Could be an easy way to make money fast...which is also the best way to lose it fast.

I know this company drills downward for oil, but there only going up from here!

Vtg thunder thunder thunder cats!

I'm adding to CAPS to watch...

Just bought 300 shares of this stock today. Was way oversold and recently off the bottom on good future prospects. I pulled the trigger on low volume weakness. Looks like a winner now that the Gulf oil spill is in our rear view mirror and demand for new drilling is on the rise.

good tools that everyone wants to rent to make the most of their hole. By using VTG products you see increased margins & time saved, both equals money. New boat will pull more from each pipe & move it out faster. Already has contracts & boat hasn't been christened.

In order to find New Oil, Deep Sea Drilling is a must. When the Oil Price cuts through 150 $/b, VTG will be able to sign very profitable contracts and make tons of Money.

Near term, I think it's undervalued based on it's locked-in contracts and utilization, and one-time significant tax loss. I think it's set up for a year or two of appreciation.

Cant lose with energy right now

While "they're" arguing the politics and debating the U.S. oil consumption, regulations, and bans, the entire world is still using the stuff, and no matter what decision they make on capitol hill, we the people still need to be able to drive to work. Until this basic metric changes, we are still going to drill for oil.

This could be the most overlooked driller in the business. This company has very, very good management in place. The company is adding rigs as we speak, has the newest rigs/fleet and has forward looking contracts. The need for offshore drilling will increase greatly in the coming years. This company will not be overlooked for long, buy now and hold for the long haul. Check out their web site and review the company for yourself. I'm sure you will be as impressed as I am.

The CO. has a great management team the top three executives have 76 years of combined experience,including time at major drillers, including Transocean (RIG:NYSE) and Pride International (PDE:NYSE). With a fleet consisting of only newly built ships, the company also believes that it has a strategic advantage, as more than 70% of the jackup rigs currently in the market are at least 25 years old. In the fourth quarter of 2009 the CO. said that 90% of remaining drilling time for its four jackup rigs is already booked for 2010.There are two additional semi-submersibles under construction for which Vantage will manage operations. Both are already contracted for several years, and the first unit is expected to be delivered by the end of 2010. So I feel 2010 and 2011 will be big years for VTG and at $1.50 it is a way under value.

Deep water drilling is were all big players are headed for number of reasons. Security,goverments and lack of available land to drill! Have to get profits somewhere deep water is were they will go! This company is way undervalued and and with 100.00 plus oil how can you go wrong on this pick!
