“As recently has a month and a half ago, Schlumberger was about as cheap as it had been in 20 years, and that was because a lot of folks in the market, and a lot of folks still believe this, that the energy cycle is probably close to being over,” said Jordan.

Jordan added that he would wait to buy the stock until after its earnings report on Friday.
Jordan’s second pick is Weatherford International [WFT

], which is a slightly smaller oil services company than Schlumberger.
“It’s going to grow at anywhere to 30 to 40 percent versus Schlumberger’s 20, so you get a company trading at the same multiple growing a lot faster.”
