Just yesterday, one of those Fools, All-Star Googlespooch, succinctly summed up the CARBO bull case for our community:
They make some of the highest quality proppant in the industry. With fracking solutions to domestic energy problems seeming to be one of the most likely picked, companies that have invested themselves in fracking should do well. ... [I]ndustry should continue to grow despite rig counts going down as each rig is drilling more wells.
If you want market-topping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite its five-star rating, CARBO may not be your top choice.
