Papaya King, Today's late reversal I found most fascinating- I believe that just like other cyclical stock groups, oilfield service companies are beginning to get some attention........ But if you're stacked knee-deep in TDW stock, I say buy no more, and go for a tubular goods supplier, well service provider, or driller to round out your portfolio........... Sincerely, Doug F.

I was about to rebut your evaluation of TDW's chart, but had a second look at it today, and I think you may be right. The fall from 41 (it had good support there) to 38 was very concerning to me, especially at a time when the other boats (and most of the rest of the sector) were still making higher highs. There must be a reason for that. Looking at the chart, it went down after the last buy signal, but now the stochs seem to be making a double bottom and are turning back up. This is one of those rare instances where the buy signal was too soon, but now we're getting a second buy signal which is almost never too soon. Looking at the fundamentals, it has had minor downward revisions in earnings estimates the last two months (in the 2 to 5% range) which is much better than a lot of stocks in the sector that are doing well stock price wise. The last 4 qtrs they have had positive earnings surprises, and their gross margins have been steadily improving over the last 8 quarters rgdoczzz.home.texas.net (Something new I've been following). So, I will take advantage of any weakness the next couple of days to double up also.
