As I posted late last week, it is time to begin making a list of those beaten down sectors and individual securities that may bring life back to your portfolio(s) in the future. I am not, repeat -NOT - recommending immediate purchase. The markets are still too destabilized for considered actions unless your objective is pure speculation.

While we expect GW shares to essentially track PDS from here onwards, we are keeping our Buy recommendation and price objective unchanged. The company remains well positioned to capitalize on the improving operating environment given its large idle capacity, which[More...]
