    Halliburton Company is expected to report strong revenue and earnings growth going forward, and considering that it is currently trading at a discount to its competitors. Do you think it’s a buy?

    I've owned a little of it off and on for many years. Good company in a risky business, volatile stock. I've been long on it for several years since it started to bounce back from the spill bs. I own even more of their competitor SLB these days.

    HAL is a company that I can't feel comfortable owning. I'd feel like a war profiteer. More power to you though if you own it, because it's a good stock with good earning potential and that really should be all that matters.

    I'm sorry, but I would never be able to buy into this company, but I have a biased reason as to why. My last neighbor was named Paul Halliburton, and he is a war veteran who has gone a little crazy in the meantime. He always announces himself by his first and last name, and he really made my life miserable while he was here. So, I think I would skip the buy, just me personally.

    The stock market kicked off the new trading week on an upbeat note with small caps leading the advance after showing relative weakness last week. The Russell 2000 surged 2.3%, while the S&P 500 gained 1.0%. Wow.

    Right, except we all know how upbeat streaks end. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if their success doesn't last for much longer.

    That's an odd reason to avoid a stock, but hey, if it works for you, by all means, haha.

    Personally, I still have a distaste for the company because of the war stuff, and so I would rather invest in companies that I feel good about.
