WTI: W&T Offshore is on a Hot Streak	My latest post is up at RealMoney. I think there is still quite a bit of run left in the energy bull market. That belief has led me to some good picks, such as Patterson Uti (PTEN) and Flowserve (FLS) , as well as one bad one, Frontier Oil (FTO) . My models recently brought W&T Offshore (WTI) into focus, and I’m thinking it is more likely one of the former than the latter. The stock shows up very well in the Stock Market Beat models: Earnings momentum score: 1 (Posit...	May 07, 2008

PTEN: Time to Take Profits on Patterson-UTI	Just three months ago I said it looked like Patterson-UTI (PTEN) was poised to profit from an eventual rise in oil prices. I liked the fact that its free cash flow yield was much higher than those of its peers Helmerich & Payne (HP) and Grey Wolf (GW - Annual Report). I also said the momentum is clearly with HP, and I wouldn’t blame anyone for wanting to let that winner ride. Since that time, all three stocks have posted solid gains, and the ranking has largely met my expectations: 57.6% g...	April 21, 2008

PTEN: Patterson-UTI Looks Poised to Profit from Oil’s Ultimate Rise	The following is a reprint of my January 17, 2008 RealMoney column. For the last several months, as most of us were complaining about the price of oil at the pump, oil drillers like Patterson-UTI (PTEN), Helmerich & Payne (HP), Grey Wolf (GW - Annual Report) and Unit Corp. (UNT) have been seeing customers push back on the rates they charge for operating rigs. Morgan Keegan analyst J. Michael Drickamer described the fourth quarter as “choppy.” The latest PPI report backs up that assessmen...	January 24, 2008
Oil Drilling Stocks	With the price of oil bouncing around between $90 and $100 per barrel, maybe its time to look at the oil drillers, which can provide substantially more upside than the large integrated oil companies or the oil income trusts. Here are a list of 14 oil drillers, all but two of which have market caps above $1 billion, and all but two of which pay dividends. Atlas Energy Resources ( ATN ) is a developer of of natural gas and oil principally in Michigan,New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Tennessee. T...	January 17, 2008
