I agree for the most part about current prices in oil service. I wouldn't have sold some RPC if I still thought it was a good value. I recently thought about unloading BOLT which I bought as value awhile back. Along with stock appreciation. The 1.00 a share special dividend for two years in a row has been a nice bonus for holding though. Value wise, I'm possibly looking to add to BRKS & ISIL if conditions present themselves.

Paul,

It's quite curious. Whether LUFT by GE, or Heinz by Buffett et al, cheap money is making what are seemingly expensive purchases reasonable for the purchaser (at least in their estimation).

That is not to say all stocks are valued in such manners. I see a company like ESV selling at less than 1.2x book value, and less than 8x 2014 earnings estimates - and just shake my head.

Strange times being a value investor.
