Oilfield Drilling/Services: Group expected to retreat at the open after the American Petroleum Institute reported a 2.4% increase in U.S. crude inventories. Analysts were expecting a rise of less than 1.5%. Group has risen sharply over past several sessions amid concerns that Hurricane Mitch would inhibit drilling activity in the Gulf of Mexico.

Redman -- (are you kin to our beloved Greenman?) -- Don't worry about what price range the stock is in. That doesn't matter. So you buy fewer shares. It won't make a difference. If I were to switch money to a driller, I would buy RIG or DO. I also am starting to like PKD (Parker). But you may want to wait for a bigger dip to buy.

Redman; no reason to sell anything at these prices if holding longterm. The ''only'' reason to even remotely consider selling here is if you are an active ''trader.'' - & I wouldn't recommend that to anyone .<VBG>. If you own GFI, MAVK, or FGII anywhere near these current price levels - I would sit back and enjoy... I can see FGII conservatively at $24 even in a relatively moderate Crude enviroment by this spring...just ''my'' opinion. For most people; I wouldn't be selling here, but I would buy a little at $15ish and then again @ $12 ish and then again @ $10ish if we ever see those levels again. "Trading'' and investing are horses of a different color... I swear my New Years Resolution will be to only make 1-2- buy entries a year into the market blowoffs; having a "Watch List'' of Stocks and "Target Prices"... trying to have the patience of Buffet....sitting and waiting like a Cat for a mouse... One has to make his own calls here; we are still historically very cheap - look at the buying support with crude in a soft enviroment...
