Can you recommend other similar type of companies or sector I can consider a transfer? Perhaps the electric generators or electric utilities with similar yields and growth prospects? Thanks.

Q: The active North American Oil Rig count has been steadily rising week after week according to reports. Shouldn't this be a good predictor for what is to come for Questor Technologies' core business over the next several quarters. Is it good time begin to accumulate the stock again given its strong balance sheet and if you have a longer investment horizon?
