diana g; that's the best ''buy the dip'' news yet, OPEC seems very serious. ...had to take a vacation break & catch up on the news. OSX 63-68 shouldn't really scare anyone -from a technical standpoint it makes sense to back and fill and build a higher support base for the move to OSX 100ish. However; it wouldn't surprise me if we turn anytime here.... I'm bascially into the stocks at the prices I want to be ''in'' at here; doing a little trading in both directions and positioning myself to be in a solid ''hold'' mode for the next leg here; which imho, will be a run to OSX 100ish. Waiting on RIG, SDC, CAM, WFT, GLBL, CXIPY, SCSWF weakness here.... trading HLX big on this bounce off of $5 (thanks Bull - vbg)...so lets all be putting HLX on those buy lists <VBG>!..... and allways doing the E&P thing. The next leg will build once again on OPEC's compliance report in June and hopefully an increasing Rig count, or some positive project news.... irregardless - the E&P's & Integrated's will continue to get fundamentally stronger with these Oil & Gas prices; they will have some great Q2-3 earnings reports. Wouldn't mind timing a profit taking spike in the E&P's on the Q3 earnings report period - and rotating some E&P profits back into more of an equal weighting into OSX stocks; as I expect Sept/Oct to be a big turning point for the OSX companies... OSX-wise; month by month we get closer to an eventual recovery.... RIG $22-3 looks awfully good as a no-brainer longterm play. CAM getting realistically priced here, SDC at $17-18 becomes a must own; many stocks just $2, or so, from strong buying imho.... VTS at $16 looks like a winner as well, missed getting back into VTS after taking profits. these comments were most enlightening: <<He said the kingdom was convinced the price of Brent would hit the $18-20 target by the end of May or early in June.>> ....so maybe it becomes the end of June/July ? $18+ Brent = !!! << He said Saudi Arabia ''looks beyond reports on the market.'' ''We have a close feel for the market. We deal closely with the customers and we are almost certain that we will reach that level ($18-$20).''>> ...maybe, they have a little surprise in store for the ''markets'' ? good luck all
