There's also another adage that might also pertain here: "Don't try to catch a falling knife."

Oil is nearing its bottom, but, as I said last week, I still think we have some more room to fall. Not that much more, but some. I hope to God that oil doesn't follow the NOESIS projections.

The fundamental story is in the press release from yesterday. They blew out earnings, and they are 99% fleet committed for the rest of the year. They are the most experienced in ultra-deep drilling, and they are on Big Dog's preferred list.

The only problem is that at a price of 39, there is a downside of 39 points, give or take. <g> The risks are sector and market (barring the unforeseen rig accident).
