Happel - old news, deal cut in Feb - Dain downgrade May 15th.

PTEN getting pressured imho by both analysts & investment bankers to merge - to lay back & enjoy it - ala the Bobby Knight theory - or, perhaps they will get downgrades, short raided & see their stock punished if they dont.

What just happened ?

Dain 2 weeks ago, downgraded - this Feb deal wasn't enough. Maybe they could buy TBDI vs getting eaten by NBR ? - I dont know TBDI's SCR leverage, GW has too much debt - the pressure appears to be on PTEN to get in bed with NBR imho and they are getting it from analysts, from bankers & from shorts - say bye bye to PTEN; its getting taken out imho.

Shorts are backing Dains downgrade which is backing the pressure from Investment Bankers imvho...

Regardless - triple bottom, good technical buy point; fundamentals with the nat Gas shortage couldnt be better for the next 2 qtrs, shorts are way over exposed here - 50% to merely its prior highs.

...free money on the table.

I don't care which way it shakes out - with NBR, without NBR - its $30+ within weeks regardless... only a total market meltdown stops that...
