Especially those able to drill in very deep water. Our U.S. Congress may have their head in the sand on drilling but most companies worldwide are developing their resources as fast as possible. Worldwide demand for oil may be retreating for a while but eventually high demand will return. RIG is the biggest and has the best fundamentals among the drillers.

I've been following the election closely for two years. For the most part, politics is a hobby of mine, but in this year's election my interest went much deeper. I recognized very early that the 2008 vote would be monumental on so many levels and investment opportunities would abound. I even outlined the impact of the policies of each candidate on the market in an election gallery. <>Now that the results are in with the Democrats taking significant control of the executive and legislative branches, I want to drill d...

<> RIG is the leader in deepwater drilling and trading at fantastically low valuation ratios. Fear of a world slowdown, US opposition to deepwater drilling, and the recent decrease in oil supply is behind the sell-off of energy companies. These are all short-term effects which have decreased the price of RIG and made it attractive to a long-term investor. Deepwater oil will become increasingly a part in maintaining the world's current production of oil as the current supply peaks. RIGs Price / Cash Flow (TTM), Price / Earnings (TTM), '08 PEG, Price / Sales (TTM) are historically low. The...

Transocean: Drilling Deep for Profits
RIG

With the pullback in oil, many of the oil service companies have seen a dramatic decline. This is strange as many are not linked directly to the commodity itself and still have very nice looking futures ahead. <>The best looking of the bunch seems to be Transocean (RIG). They not only have a monopoly in the area of deep oil drilling, but they are financially sound and in a sector that looks good going forward. Even with the price of oil at $100 a barrel, it is profitable to pay Transocean as much as $500,000 per day. Since many of the large land finds with respect to oil are gone, exploration...

The editor of Dow Theory Forecasts says, "While stocks in this group tend to move with oil prices in the near term, their proï¬ts depend more on exploration spending than on commodity prices." <>"Concerns about slowing demand for crude oil and reï¬ned products both in the U.S. and overseas have many investors worried.

Transocean: An Opportunity in Falling Oil
RIG
-42.91%
in
322 days
<>Crude oil's price has fallen from over $145 in July to under $115 in August and there is every indication it will fall further, at least in the short-term, as expectations of global economic growth and the associated thirst for energy are both trimmed. As irrational as was the rapid surge to nearly $150 oil, current sentiment could easily take oil to $100 or lower, despite the predicted continued growth in long-term demand. Mr. Market, as is often the case, is hardly rational or efficient in the short-term -- his wild exuberance in driving the price of black gold sky-high has now been repla...

As a Value Investor, I routinely find myself stepping in front of "Moving Trains" to buy beaten up stocks. Sometimes when you do this, you get run over and end up catching a "Falling Knife". Other times, you find yourself at the beginning of a "Hockey Stick curve climb" (sorry, Canadians have to refer to Hockey once in a while!) <>With the incredible fall of the price of oil recently, many oil services stocks have been dragged down considerably. Some of the observed drop in these stocks might not be fully warranted, though. Although their clients (namely the Large Oil Companies and Nation...

<>The same pattern we've seen in many oil service stocks played out in Transocean (RIG) yesterday. Solid earnings. Falling on deaf ears. Due to the mix of ships (they have a lot of shallow drillers who have much higher competition levels) I prefer some other names in the sector in the here and now, but for the long run RIG is bringing on the most supply of deep sea drillers which is where the real money is.
The chart is actually breaking out - unfortunately to the benefit of shorts, not longs. The 50 day moving average ($144) is quickly closing in on the 200 day ($136s) - the last thing you wa...

With the gloomy financial news coming out of Wall Street, it may be tempting to bail out of all US equities and invest in a Russian ETF. But that would be a bad decision.

Barron's interviews Omega Advisors' top money managers Lee Cooperman and Steven Einhorn, whose fund has returned 16% annually since 1991.

I was wondering why Transocean (RIG) was bucking the trend today in the oil services and  sticking in the green - looks like they just announced a 5 year, $1.19 Billion contract for their rig Pathfinder. If you divide that into days, it looks like a day rate of $650K+ which is about as high as I've seen. Continue to love this space and wonder why the valuations are not higher.
<><> Transocean Inc. (NYSE:RIG - News) today announced that its deepwater drillship Deepwater Pathfinder, a single-activity rig capable of drilling in water depths up to 10,000 feet, has been awarded a five-year contract ...
