939.0. "Searching for Value Oriented Market Sectors" by DPDMAI::KNOWLES (Randy dtn-483-4231) Fri Nov 10 1995 11:56

    I like to look for stocks that are in a sector that is out of favor and 
    do some "Bottom Fishing".  I am from Texas where I feel that Oil stocks
    fit in that category.  I was reading in Harts Oil and Gas Investor
    where 18 top analysts chose their top choices for the coming year. Some
    of their choices were:
    			Price in June 95      Current Price   Projected 
    
    	XCL Ltd.(XCL)	 	 .75		.50		2.88
    	WRT Energy(WRTE)        5.50           1.50	       16.00
    	Benton Oil & Gas(BNTN) 13.56	      11.00	       20.50
    	Oryx Energy(ORX)       14.33	      12.00	       21.50		
    
    
    Would oil stocks be a place for the Value stock picker that goes
    against the crowd mentality, because they are down and if any kind of
    crisis arises, we could see a shortage of Oil.  How does someone look
    for out of favor Value Stocks?
    
    Thanks
