*****

An international offshore contract drilling services to the oil and gas industry with a current operating fleet of 45 drilling rigs, including 43 jackup rigs, one ultra-deepwater semisubmersible rig and one barge rig.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other members to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

Dirt cheap fundamentals with metrics that rival the rimms, amazons and apples of the world while not forcing you into a play that is fraught with huge risk based on fickle customers. Likewise it has already gone from a momentum PE to a value PE whereas the Googs and amazons of the world can easily go from momentum to "value" in no time at all leaving the owners baffled and bloodied after being taken behind the woodshed. The offshore segment is going to become increasingly important to find the limited strategic oil resources of the future.

The MSM is predicting that oil prices will crash. This will not happen as supply is dropping off in key producing countries. ESV has rigs all over the world and with the tight drilling market they will be able to charge a premium.

In other words, there is a No. 1 stock in CAPS and a worst-ranked stock in CAPS. When you arrive at the top-ranked stock, clicking "Beat this Stock!" will cause the page to refresh.

That is, until there is a new No. 1 stock!
