Not to buy is an active decision. I took a serious look at Helmerich & Payne and, though we really liked the company, my conclusion was not to buy the stock at this price (see analysis). However, this research was not a complete waste of time, because at a lower price, in the $20-30s, HP looks like a very interesting opportunity.

I am the CEO at IMA, which is anything but your average investment firm. In a brief moment of senility, Forbes magazine called me "the new Benjamin Graham”.
I’ve written two books on investing, which were published by John Wiley & Sons and have been translated into eight languages. (I’m working on a third - you can read a chapter from it, titled “The 6 Commandments of Value Investing” here).
And if you prefer listening, audio versions of my articles are published weekly at investor.fm.
