I am looking for the same levels too....30 would be great. I may be bias too....but i bought a VERY small amount of RIG in their DRIP when i thought it was a "deal" at I think about 40.....and just bought some more at about 26. So now 22.25 has to be a deal right? oh well....

Platter, long time no talk. Question: Who the fxxx could possibly be selling FLC at such a level? I think it's no less than a conspiracy that G. Soros got into that stock. Or is he on the contrary shorting FLC big time? The price action in the stock is just unbelievable. Book value at 5.10 and the damn thing is sitting at 5 11/16? Some thing big must give.

Hey everyone, I have been lurking on this thread for a few months now. There a quite a few very knowledgeable if not broke people on this thread and like to get your guys opinion. Call me crazy but I am making a major sector bet and planning to hold for 2 to 3 years at least if necessary. The valuation of these companies has attracted me and have been slowly purchasing em over the last month, except for UTI which I have owned awhile. I am about 3/4 done with the amount of money I want to put into this sector. I am looking for any suggestions on stocks that would round out or be good additions to my portfolio. Also, if you see any that I own and you don't like please inform. I am looking for companies that have good appreciation potential but at the same time ones that can weather the storm and not file BK on me. My list so far is as follows: Thanks, Rory Current holdings: UTI in at 12 (god what a mistake) GLBL in at 5 1/2 RIG in at 22 1/16 BHI in at 16 7/8 VTS in at 11 7/16 PTEN in at 3 3/16 FGI in at 11 HAL in at 30
