Glen and all, Here's the latest from P engr off the AOL board. He called the last 2 tops, and the previous 2 bottoms, this last one however, he called just before this last dead cat bounce and now says... *********** Subject: New buypoints Date: Fri, Dec 19, 1997 01:58 EST From: P Engr Message-id: <19971219065801.BAA20226@ladder01.news.aol.com>
The overall market is very weak. Perhaps it is a bear as opposed to a correction---time will tell.
The drillers will remain the strongest relative strength group due to the fundamentals. However, I think that the buy points that I listed on 12/12/97 need to be adjusted, due to the overall market weakness as follows:
BDI 12-13 CDG 40-42 DO 39-40 ESV 28.5 - 30 FLC 26 GLM 21-22 NE 24 (poss. 27) NBR 24-25 PTEN 23 (poss. 26) RDC 28-29 RIG 38-40 UTI 20-21
The above levels--if reached should be bottom. However, be cautious, do not use margin----bear markets can be unrelenting (1972-1974). I am not sure weather the long awaited bear has begun. I think that there are many signs that it has, but, need more time to tell. If it turns out that we are in a bear market, I think that the drillers will not drop too much below the above prices, because of the stong fundamentals and because they are will be well below asset replacement cost values--- also, remember, the sector has just come out of a 15 year bear market--- the Great Oilfield Depression-----Thus, this sector has had its excesses corrected and the stage is set for many, many years of strong growth. At these price levels we should have 300+% moves over the next few years---even if a bear market occurs.
All IMHO!! P Engr. |
