Getting out of oil .. now

[TraderTate + 186]

Definitely time to lose oil stocks if you're still hanging on to them. Among other things, the WTI-Brent spread really sucks ... Immediate/short-term this is big bear territory.

and it's not just the production picture killing inventory. now refiners are even boosting utilization rates ... adding to output.

So wouldn't this be the time to start positions in US Drillers and Service's group? I started looking at NBR after Leon Coopman talked about it on Halftime Report. All time lows around $5.35. Traded at $8.65 in Jan 2018. Now around $7.00. They also started drilling for Aramco.

Would like to hear from you guy's with more info. Thanks

[TraderTate + 186]

I don't think the drillers are going anywhere soon. Not the play I would make. I think NBR is a good day-trade but wouldn't hold it for the long term. This morning would have been a good set-up for instance. It's up almost 4% this morning.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here. I think NBR could hit $12.00 by year end.

And PES, $5.50

PES doesn't have volume though, so for me--not in play today. I won't tough anything without 1 mil volume otherwise I'll get stuck. 

[TraderTate + 186]

Would be interested to hear your rationale for a $12 price target on NBR though. I have to looked in the stated Aramco drilling a bit more

[MJL + 17]

NBR is the the largest driller in U.S. Signed huge contract with ARAMCO and already started work to do all their drilling in U.S. and Saudi Arabia. Oil should start to move up after refinery maintenance ends in March and they switch to summer grade. Many analyst believe this will be a breakout year for oil due to global growth and say were in a "once in a decade move for oil". I'm just putting this together with the technicals. It has a great looking chart and just started the Golden Cross. If we are in for a 3 to 4 yr run it could do $30 by then.

Interested in hearing anything you turn up. Happy Trading

[TraderTate + 186]

I'm interested in their 50/50 JV with Aramco, definitely. but also still not sold on this being a long-term play. maybe longer term, ok, I guess it's the medium term I'm not sold on. Would have been great if Aramco went with the IPO, right? I see it's solid as far as drilling contracts of course. I'm thinking more macro here. 

I'm not great on the technicals, so welcome anything you have to share.

Even if it trades past Jan high $8.65,it could see $9.63 by June -July. 

Keeping fingers crossed

Why not look at a company like HCLP then? They are frac-sand play that has been executing well over the last 12 months including hedging their bets a bit with increased rail traffic and congestion to get their high-quality Wisconsin frac-sand delivered by investing directly in a permian facility. The company recently reinstated their dividend in q4 of last year at .$15 and bumped it up to .$20 in Jan with indications from their earnings report for Q1 that they plan on increasing it 10% per quarter for the foreseeable future. Buyback plan in place and the quantity of frac-sand being used is increasing, both from bringing more wells online, but also drilling longer laterals which then requires more sand per well. Transportation issues getting enough sand to market has caused an increase in the price of sand as well.

$HCLP is a good one ... looks like a good medium-term future for frac sand buybacks, and Hi-Crush crushed it yesterday up over 4.6%
