Morgan Stanley (MS) Likes (MSFT)(BAC)(AKS)(PEP), Among Laggards
Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) released a list of stock laggards today in a report, with parameters of trailing their respective sectors by at least 10 percent over the last six months.
Among the shares they recommend buying in the group are Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL), down 15.1%; Bank of America (NYSE:BAC), down 7.6%; AK Steel Holdings (NYSE:AKS), down 15%; PepsiCo (NYSE:PEP), down 10.9%; Murphy Oil (NYSE:MUR), down 15.7%; Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), down 14.2%; and Talbots (NYSE:TLB), down 67.1%.
All of the stocks listed above have ratings of "Equal Weight" or "Overweight."
Morgan Stanley said a strategy of acquiring only laggards — rebalancing every month to buy the worst-performing quintile in the S&P 1500 on a trailing six-month basis — would have resulted in a 60% gain since January 2007, better than the S&P 500.

Chevron (NYSE:CVX), Hess (NYSE:HES), Shell (NYSE:RDS-A), Marathon Oil (NYSE:MRO), Noble Energy (NYSE:NBL) Among 13 Companies Allowed to Resume Deepwater Gulf Drilling
The Obama administration has finally removed the barriers for 13 companies to resume drilling in the Gulf of Mexico after the BP (NYSE:BP) oil spill, including Chevron (NYSE:CVX), Hess (NYSE:HES), Shell (NYSE:RDS-A), Marathon Oil (NYSE:MRO) and Noble Energy (NYSE:NBL).
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) announced Monday that it has contacted the 13 companies saying they could probably resume drilling without having to go through the process of submitting a revised exploration or development plans.

BOEMRE director Michael R. Bromwich said, “For those companies that were in the midst of operations at the time of the deepwater suspensions, today's notification is a significant step toward resuming their permitted activity.”
Also being notified were ATP Oil & Gas (Nasdaq:ATPG), BHP Billiton (NYSE:BHP), Cobalt International Energy (NYSE:CIE), ENI U.S. Operating Co. Inc.; Kerr-McGee Oil & Gas (NYSE:KMG), Murphy (NYSE:MUR), Statoil (NYSE:STO), and Walter Oil & Gas (NYSE:WLT).

Obama's Moratorium Results in Diamond Offshore (NYSE:DO) Moving Rig Out of Gulf to 'Republic of Congo'
Diamond Offshore (NYSE:DO) announced today it is moving its oil rig Ocean Confidence out of the Gulf of Mexico to the Republic of Congo, and has suspended a contract in the region to make the rig available.
Diamond Offshore President and CEO, Larry Dickerson, said, “As the uncertainty about continued deepwater drilling in the GOM persists, we must consider alternatives that allow our deepwater assets to remain employed. The contract we suspended with Murphy has been restructured into a one-year commitment in the GOM that is expected to recommence when our customer is satisfied that it can obtain the necessary permits and can meet any new regulatory requirements.”
A subsidiary of Murphy Exploration and Production Company (NYSE:MUR) will be the recipient of the oil rig via a new multi-well international agreement.
It's unknown how many jobs Americans have lost as a consequence of Obama's misguided oil moratorium.
This is the second rig Diamond has pulled out of region in the last several days.
