Though many oil-service firms are already trading near two-year lows, analysts' earnings estimates for them will soon be revised further downward. No brokerage will want the likes of Halliburton or Schlumberger on its "recommended" list. The gloom around these stocks is only deepening. And I am buying them hand...
...Bird more than once? Sometimes the appeal is more than mere novelty: a discarded thought can be more revealing, more intimate than a finished work; it's like catching an old friend off guard. A yen for uncooked art, for malleable art, is also more in keeping with our crude, relativistic times...
