ebear...

Aru has also been a stock I stumbled onto a couple of years ago and while doing my DD I found that they had somthing that I hadn't seen before.  I plan on playing ARU out at least to the buyout ( assuming it gets bought-out).  If it doesn't get bought out and MGT decides to develop it alone or ( heaven forbid) in a JV with a major ...I will have to re-evaluate my position.

I agree with you that oil is here to stay...at least in the rest of my lifetime...and you are right on with the ancillary services.

I tried the Uranium play some last year but got out before the "Sell in May" annual stock collapse ....thank God I did as the big "U" has been a real dog for the last year!!

I think I will look into the drillers as you mentioned.....I also think there is something to this Bakken Oil play also...but I am sticking with the Cresent Point there with my spec eye on Painted Pony ( I think it is a little pricey though)

All JMHO
