Game Changer in Solar Energy: PG&E Inks Deal http://seekingalpha.com/article/91147-game-changer-in-solar-energy-pg-e-inks-deal?source=feed#comment-231941 231941 Sat, 16 Aug 2008 13:18:15 -0400 Altria: Spin Details http://seekingalpha.com/article/62457-altria-spin-details?source=feed#comment-115332 115332 MO would fall 17.00 but PM would rise 17.00. or so.

You can bet that mo has something up their sleeves besides buybacks. UST will suffer as MO's moist tobacco gains share, and when the price comes down, that will be the right timing for an acquisition. UST cannot compete against that much lower pricing by MO longer term. Watch UST's reported margins as the respond to the MO challenge.

Interesting that he renegotiated his contract, removing stock price, equation giving him incentive to drive the price DOWN so he could buy back in cheaper.

IEZ: Schlumberger's Weak Earnings Call Sector Valuation Into Question http://seekingalpha.com/article/51716-iez-schlumberger-s-weak-earnings-call-sector-valuation-into-question?source=feed#comment-101149 101149
I'm in the camp of GOM's weakness is an opportunity in a big way at 100.00 oil. And international companies will be the main players. Think about buying rigs and services with the US dollar in the toilet. GREAT ROI, risk/reward.

Bolt a Buy, Noble Grows Profit and Margins http://seekingalpha.com/article/50502-bolt-a-buy-noble-grows-profit-and-margins?source=feed#comment-100883 100883
My target for this next upleg should bring the price to 63-67. The questions surrounding the CEO's abrupt departure have been addressed. That was holding the stock down, creating a divergence with RIG/GSF that I expect to close. The drillers have held up well in a tough tape even increasing several points during several hundred point drops. I like what I see.

Oil collapsing is the most worriesome aspect here. Although the market is increasing realizing that these long terms contracts are not dependent on the price of oil. The costing of the drilling projects by the customers are done on 43.00 oil.

With the Major Oil companies production declining, they are expected to more aggressive in the drilling programs to help replace the increasing losses of access to NOC's reserves.

Transocean Tops Estimates on Increased Rig Rental Rates http://seekingalpha.com/article/52209-transocean-tops-estimates-on-increased-rig-rental-rates?source=feed#comment-100479 100479
The other highlight from the transocean call was the increasing aggressivness on the part of the Large oil companies towards their drilling programs. currently the most agressiveness is being shown by the NOC's or nationally owned oil companies.

DO's valuation target was recently raised to 178.00/shr, expect the rest of this elite group to follow.]]>

1)alternative energy will begin to displace oil rapidly not requiring the expenditures to find new sources, that may have very low probabilities of being found anyway.

OR

2)they are rolling the dice and betting on a worldwide slowdown bring supply back in line with demand.

the first case would be supported by huge investments in Alternative energy. I have not seen that for either one though BP seems to think advertising "Beyond Petroleum" is enough. Yikes!

If anyone has the number that each oil company spends on alternative energy developments, I would love to see them.]]>
