From the Motley Fool: The only other news of note comes from the oil patch where oil service stocks continue to confound. Tidewater (NYSE: TDW) was down $12/16 today in spite of all sorts of news which could be construed to be bullish. Maverick Tube (Nasdaq: MAVK) was taken out and shot after reporting earnings ahead of estimates, lower steel prices (good news) and that they saw no sign of a decrease in orders. Who can figure. Global Marine (NYSE: GLM) bested estimates (after accounting for one time charges) as well. Drill bit maker Smith International (NYSE: SII) received an upgrade from SBC Warburg today as well. On top of that good news December Oil futures traded well above $18 per barrel even though the near contract fetched only $16.33. If anyone can figure this out, post your reasoning over on the Boring Stocks message board. I'd love to hear it. On a sad note a Tidewater boat collided with a boat carrying 6 duck hunters in a stormy Louisiana bayou. Among the six were the head of sports marketing for RJR and a former CEO of Gulf & Western
