The sector is bouncing off the day's lows, handily.

Canine Maximus; re: Parker ....don't they have an early foothold into Russia ? Do they have any Caspian exposure ? What was the ''talk'' on the Caspian Sea (during your Norwegian Trip...) concerning demand for equipment and drilling ? any comments... There has to be a huge demand for "Seismic'' there - that's part of my play on VTS & PGO... curious as to if the Industry expects USA Fab/Equip Co's to see a demand boom from there or not...?

Big, I am the one also known as "Greenman." As you might recall, last year about this time I was shunned upon due to the "red" being in my name and thus associated with the red on the screen on OS quotes. I elected to take a bullet for the team and changed to "greenman" at that time, with applause from the thread I might add, only to see OS stocks escalate their downward move dramatically. After a poster here mentioned my change, I elected to revert back to "redman", but this time with a capital "R". I changed last week, only to see our beloved OS stocks spark a nice rally upward, even thought it was establishing an uptrend for awhile. I thought my reversal in namesake sparked this rally for all. But, as you can see today, even I cannot fight the forces of nature and middle easterners as this sector has inevitably retreated against my wishes. But, I do see a sign of good things to come in the next month or two, I just want to be well positioned in several areas of our beloved OS sector. red
