Some oil & gas service stocks to watch

[BuyOnDips]

MIND, DWSN and BTJ seem to be pretty hot the last few months.

Finding oil and gas is getting tougher and tougher. These companies products and services seem to be in demand now.

I'll probably buy at least one of the above mentioned stocks. I haven't done enough homework yet, but I think they are all going in the right direction for the short term.

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on BHI.

Pros: lo debt, cash, good name, int'l exposure, close to 52wk lo.

cons: someone may be manipulating this stock down further, recently missed, may not move (up) for a while.

Would appreciate any more cons.

BHI came up on a query of mine as well. They missed the qtr. That, of course, is why it is at a 52wk low.

Their net profit margin in the OIL SERVICES industry is above most competitors, gross margin is average so this says that they are financially sound.

Future sales growth is sub par, this may delay a quick increase in the share price.

Their EPS is well above average.

That said, I have been watching JEC for some time now. It is due to split in March and has split 4-5 times in the past twenty years. I am employeed by XOM and they are our main contract for maintenance and projects. They have a freat safety record and are even VPP status at our site.
