The best part of their business is tube coil. Stock was hurt when they moved some equipment down to Colombia. An oil-producing country but Colombia has huge bureaucracy so they are possibly leaving there. The rest of their business is doing very well. 4.7% yield is safe.

In the oil service business especially in coil tubing where they dominate the industry. One of his favourite stocks. Has been volatile lately. The trouble with this area is that gas rigs have become idle which has caused some negativity. They are not in this area any more. Really good balance sheet and a nice dividend. Execute very well. Likes the outlook as he feels oil is going to stay at a high level.

(A Top Pick June 29/11. Down 10.07%.) Everything’s great with the company but people are putting money into big cap stocks rather than the small caps.

Likes this company a lot. Management walks the talk. Very cheap and is trading below tangible book. Recently acquired Technicoil. Trading under 10X earnings. Likes the sector. Wouldn't be surprised to see this being a takeover candidate sometime over the next 12 to 18 months.

Oil and Gas services company. Used to be just gas but switched to oil as well. Moved some of their rigs and people down to Columbia. Well run company with great balance sheet, hardly any debt. Acquisition is integrating well. Buy for the long term, is worth the high $2’s

Services to oil/gas companies. Likes the management. Trading below book value. Very disciplined and no debt. Expect they will do relatively well as long as oil hangs in where it is and does better.

Oil service company in Western Canada, which has recently moved some of their rigs down to Colombia. Utilization is up quite a bit. Recently made an acquisition to strengthen their position. Good balance sheet and good management. Buying now takes advantage of seasonality.
