Good press on WHC today:

A lock up proposition

Another lock up deal
for investors is
Wackenhut
Corrections (WHC:
news, msgs), the
leading developer and
operator of privately
operated detention
facilities in North
America, Europe, and
Australia. This
company is able to
develop and operate these facilities at a lower cost than state and local
governments. They are also able to offer greater social and health services
than the public sector. Earnings have grown at about a 20 percent rate
over the last few years. Wachenhut earned a $.81 in 1998. Consensus
estimates are for $1.00 this year and $1.27 next year. The stock sells at a
price to earning ratio just about equal to its growth rate.

Roy M. Blumberg, a vice president of Sheer Asset Management in
New York, is a columnist for CBS MarketWatch.
