Eric Nuttall - Drilling Companies Eric Nuttall was on Market Call on BNN yesterday and for the first time in years, his top pick was a drilling company, Precision Drilling (PD). This sent the other drilling companies up today, including Akita (+5.81%), TCW (+3.33%), ESI (+6.9%), STEP (+4.53%) and PD (+7.22%). Of course, Eric’s Energy fund is so big that it cannot invest in Akita, as it is too small. But Eric recognizes how extremely undervalued the drillers currently are. This may be the spark needed to ignite a rally in Akita and the other drillers.
