But there are exceptions, and Core Laboratories (<a href="http://www.dailyfinance.com/quotes/core-laboratories-n-v-netherlands/clb/nys">CLB</a>) is one.</p>
<p>Note: The $100 stock price puts Core Labs in the high-risk category, in my interpretation, not suitable for low-risk and moderate-risk investors.</p>
<p>Core Labs is a leading reservoir optimizer, providing an impressive array of proprietary products and services for the energy sector. And, in an oil-hungry and energy-hungry world, Core's products and services are likely to continue to be in demand.</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2011/02/20/core-laboratories-the-right-technology-for-an-oil-hungry-world/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Core Laboratories: The Right Technology for an Oil-Hungry World</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2011/02/20/core-laboratories-the-right-technology-for-an-oil-hungry-world/">Core Laboratories: The Right Technology for an Oil-Hungry World</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Sun, 20 Feb 2011 11:20:00 EST.
