Making Money in Oil Services

"Supply, particularly non-OPEC supply, continues to disappoint...You've still got a lot of demand for drilling, and it's going to keep oil prices high, because supply is just not there."

Jordan recommends: Schlumberger and Weatherford International.

Low Down on Lowe’s

[On Lowe’s and Home Depot ] “I think that at this level, the downside in both names is probably limited and the upside over the long term, particularly 12 months, is meaningful, so you could probably own both these names.”

- Michael Lasser, Lehman Brothers

Turn To Business

“We really try to buy the business as opposed to the stock. And we’re looking for businesses that are very well run, strong financially, that have high returns that are generated through durable, competitive advantages, and have the consistency of earnings and dividend growth typically well into the future… Emerson [Electric] has about half of their sales overseas. This is a company that has increased their dividend for over 50 years in a row.”
