Undervalued Oil Services

When simply looking at the fundamentals this company is greatly undervalued in comparison to it's peer. The oil services sector in general will be booming for the foreseeable future I believe. As the world demand for oil steadily outpaces supply the services of companies will surely be needed to exploit deposits which were previously unfeasible. There is a risk of HERO facing difficulties with the acquisition of THE, time will tell.

The Oxen Report: Jobless and Home Sales to Make…or Break Thursday
<>What a day for us yesterday in the Oxen Report<>. <u>Second day in a row that we were able to make money off both of our buy pick of the day and the short sale.</u> For our buy pick of the day, we went with ERY. We wanted to play the commodities market and buy the Direxion Daily Energy ETF that corresponded with the crude inventories. If inventories were rising, then it was bad for the price of oil, and we would want to buy ERY. Crude inventories rose by over 2 million in the past week, and this sent the price of oil plummeting. We picked up ERY right as the news came out for a price of 13.86<><><><><><><><><><><><><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< /><>< />< />...
