Any thoughts on the oil drillers/services sector?
Maverick Tube (makes steel tubular goods for the drilling industry) reported .42 vs. .18 today, and they took the stock down about a buck. I believe estimates for this year are for 1.80, next year about 2.60. At 19, the stock seems cheap. As a matter of fact, that whole sector seems way oversold. People must be betting on a continuing/total collapse of oil prices, and a slowdown in drilling activity.

Nice move on New Holland. I can't see it going much below 24 without a huge market break. Try to find another business of similar quality at 9 times earnings. Well, there is one, New Holland's competitor Agco (AG), which I think is an even better buy.
