Hi Slider,
Just got back from Europe where the consensus seems to be that the oil sector and oil prices won't rebound for at least a few months, March 99 at the earliest.

I think this thread should take a good look at a few companies that are currently priced very similarly. We should do some number crunching (which I will start tonight) and see if we can't collectively find the best of the bunch. TDW, SII, RON, RIG and DO are all trading within a dollar or 2 of each other. Each has it's strengths and weaknesses. With them all trading around 22 to 24/share, it seems that an evaluation should be in order.

I personally don't think we will see a 20% rebound within a month. I think this is a very lofty expectation.

Michael
