Thanks for posting that Bill. Everyone read every word of it. SLB is doing a very smart thing.

Watch the cash register -- don't listen to the naysayers.

Glory WILL be ours.

<<<<<Schlumberger (SLB): Pushing the Edge of the Integration Envelope,
Maintain Strong Buy and $105/Shr Target

.......just bought a tad today and will buy a bit each week to average down. i still think the selling is due to momentum guys bailing, fund managers locking in gains, tax loss selling, unbridled fear, oil price drop, and asian crisis.

........but most of us, including MStanley, expect this sector to be one of the more profitable sectors next year.

.......i have learned that when the prices are low and the sentiment is bad--buy a little more. when the sentiment is exuberant sell a little. otherwise, hold good companies for the long term unless fundamentals OBJECTIVELY demonstrate downturn in sector.

........my take: by next spring, japan will be rebounding, followed by ASEAN countries over the next 3-6 months. this will drive price of oil up and we will be off again!

Bill,
Thanks for posting the detailed version of the Morgan Stanley report. The details of the SLB contract likely are favorable and may include financing provisions and other incentives. Significantly, there has been no downgrade of SLB or any of the other drillers or service companies. Virtually all the discussions I've heard maintain the same story of ongoing shortages and strong dayrates.
