Industry Calls Archives: Oil Services - October 2000
Oil Services
Tuesday, October 24, 2000:  Contrary to the additional bearishness we've been getting on various sectors of the market, stronger bullish signals have been coming from the oil services sector, which we see as likely to be rebounding soon. After issuing a buy on the sector at the bottom in late 
September and a calling the short term selloff at the beginning of October, oil services stocks turned back up, and about two weeks ago, we said that we were getting signals indicating a likelihood of another brief drop-off which would be followed by a similar rebound. With the sector as a whole off just under 10% and individual securities lower by about 15%, it looks like stocks in this sector will be headed back up soon. 

Wednesday, October 11, 2000:  Starting again to get signs of topping similar to those we got about a week and a half ago (after which, the sector sold off about 5% and rebounded higher). As stated then, this suggests that again the sector is running out of upside and may start headed down soon, but this is not a sell yet.

Monday, October 2, 2000:  We got a sell on 9/12. They dropped and dropped fast. We got a buy last Monday on the one-day reversal. Most of the oil services are up between 15% and 25% since then. We now have bearish signals on 8 of 14 stocks in the sectors. Not a full-fledged sell yet, but they've picked up a lot of their upside already (for the short term, at least).
