Virtual Funds: Energy Fund's Ranking/Performance in Q3 '08 And Overall

Tue, 28 Oct 2008 06:07:00 GMT

This has been a tough year and a very tough 3rd quarter for all sectors. Energy was affected as much if not worse than most of the other sectors. Here I will detail the performance of the virtual mutual fund I've set up for the Energy sector on the Marketocracy web site. Orange line in the chart below shows how my Energy Fund has performed relative to the m100 (a collective Marketocracy fund that uses picks from the top 100 members), S&P 500, Dow Jones Index, and Nasdaq.

A List of Best Performing Stocks Year to Date

Tue, 27 May 2008 01:16:00 GMT

Since we have a break in the action here, instead of doing our normal best performing stocks of the week (not many made the list this week due to a poor market), this is a good time to look at what is performing best so far this year. Further, due the composition of the list and with many of these stocks due for a correction it's probably worthwhile to take a look now, as things might change relatively soon. We looked at a similar list in early November (Nov 4: How to Make 75% in 3 Months) when the list was dominated by large cap Chinese stocks, a few big cap tech stocks, Indian stocks, and fertilizer. Except for fertilizer most of those groups stunk for the better part of the following 5 months, and hence "returned to the mean". However, the list did turn out a few gems we jumped on, so looking at such lists helps us to identify what has been working and what other[More...]

PTEN: Patterson-UTI Looks Poised to Profit from Oil’s Ultimate Rise

Thu, 24 Jan 2008 16:26:12 GMT

The following is a reprint of my January 17, 2008 RealMoney column.For the last several months, as most of us were complaining about the price of oil at the pump, oil drillers like Patterson-UTI (PTEN), Helmerich & Payne (HP), Grey Wolf (GW - Annual Report) and Unit Corp. (UNT) have been seeing customers push back on the rates they charge for operating rigs. Morgan Keegan analyst J. Michael Drickamer described the fourth quarter as “choppy.”The latest PPI report backs up that assessment. Despite the rising oil price, price increases for drilling equipment have been quite constrained – in the mid single digits compared to a year ago.

Sustained improvement in Unit's key business segments likely will not occur until there are increases in underlying commodity prices, Pinkston said.
