As well, I've bought a little BJS today.

For me, I see it as kind of a plant-the-seed thing.

As I understand the situation (and I may be quite wrong), Canadian drilling for natural gas is down substantially because the price of nat. gas is down (while expenses for extraction are up). Yet - and apparently inexplicably (?) there's quite a bit of drilling in USA. Odd (??)

Anyway it's cyclical - imho. Demand for gas should continue (increase) and as fewer wells are added to service (from Canada), the price of gas should increase (ie. from increased demand/decreased supply), and that price increase should lead to a resumption in demand for drilling/rigs/BJS services. So BJS earnings and stock should rise...eventually in the cycle.

Lot of "shoulds" there in this cycle, if it is a cycle. We'll know more in 18 months.

All jmo, I could be wrong; I have been many, many times.
