A couple of months ago, one of those Fools, NJ7, succinctly summed up the bull case for our community:
Hydraulic fracturing is a transformative technology that is leading an energy revolution by allowing access to both oil and natural gas resources that were previously inaccessible (primarily natural gas in the US). While the excessive natural gas supply is laying the hurt on natural gas producers, the equipment makers/drillers are somewhat insulated from this. ... I like the great metrics on this company and how well it's run, as well as the rock-bottom valuation.
If you want market-topping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite a strong five-star rating, C&J may not be your top choice.
