Apparently, Credit Suisse is also saying ESV is risky... from the OFS weekly report from Credit Suisse that Dennis posted last week:

"ESV: "Day of reckoning" in jackup market appears likely
in 2009 given softening demand and significant
uncontracted capacity additions.

Best performing offshore drilling stock in 2008YTD,
but consensus expectations for 09/10 too high.

ESV's concentration of jackups in Southeast Asia
and the U.S. GOM look particularly vulnerable. "

And I have to agree, particularly with the last point.

Jim

Buck, your thinking that we are now in a World Economy is exactly why I believe as the second shoe drops OSX will take out March lows.

It will take Years to fix the issues, and those that think we can bounce right back to the 2007-2008 cycle highs are profoundly ignoring historic facts to their detriment.

Remember what I said, the 2006 thru 2008 was an anomolie. Probably a once in 20 year probability.

ESV just lowered its numbers based on contract termination.
