Reply #16: fwiw side story: Dan Pickering is often quoted on things Halliburton

[cosmicdot]

``It's not a huge market for them,'' Dan Pickering, an analyst with Pickering Energy Partners, said of the Iran pullout. ``Halliburton's probably getting tired of being a punching bag on various issues and Iran was one that they could eliminate and are doing so.'' Halliburton is a 'punching bag'? Is that what it is?

~ wondering if asking his 'analysis' of Halliburton is similar to having someone from the Heritage Foundation on Faux analyze things Bu$h**-Cheney ... or Armstrong Williams to chat about Bu$h**Cheney education 'reform' ~ back-scratching

He's, also, director of research at Simmons and Co., a Houston-based investment bank that focuses on energy investments, and self-acclaimed largest investment banking practice serving the energy industry ... and an analyst with Pickering Energy Partners, a broker; plus, Oil service/E&P analyst and sector fund manager at Fidelity Investments; and, Engineering and finance at ARCO Alaska, Inc. http://www.pickeringenergy.com/

"August 30, 2004 Halliburton announced the sale of parts of its well testing business to Power Well Service Holdings LLC , a unit of First Reserve Corporation. Simmons & Company International represented Halliburton in this transaction." http://www.simmonsco-intl.com/research.aspx?Type=news
