The Company, together with its subsidiaries is engaged in the international offshore drilling and completion of exploratory and developmental oil and gas wells and related support, management and consulting services.

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 ...More

I like what I've read about the company and this balances out my portfolio well. I want to be invested in the energy market and this fits my bill within the oil industry.

Natural gas is hovering near a unsustainable low. In both sectors, companies will reduce or halt production if it drops much more, thereby increasing the cost of these commodities.

They seem to have equipment that will be in demand and I think- even with the recent drop in oil prices- that the natural market price for oil is to remain high.
