EVI started as a buy by CSFB.

I bought back into EVI, FGII, and VRC this morning. Looks like I overpaid a bit for the VRC. I wanted SCSWF, but it gapped big time.

There is just a huge volume of RIG being traded today. Does anyone have an idea what's going on? Also looking like larger than normal volume on SII.

CDG appears to be the #1 breaker on the downside. I'd stay away from that one after this morning's action.

Folks, after seeing this morning's open, I only bought FGII and VRC. Both are two of the few companies in our sector that have been getting earnings upgrades. I shorted more NE.

The drillers at this point look VERY sick. With oil this low for this long AND confirmed day rate drops, it is not logical to put one's money there now. I'd stick with the service companies...if one must invest, because the MARKET is very sick as well.

CDG, from whay i gather reading the SEC filings on Yahoo, is primarily a verty shallow water driller(200'). These are NOT experiencing any weakening of dayrates to my knowledge. The ESV & MDCO & RDC rigs for the 300-350' depth are getting pinched.
