>>Interesting to note that estimates were cut on all the companies mentioned except FLC,

This bugs me. Note the following.

"-- Raised R&B Falcon Corp. (NYSE:FLC - news) estimates for the third and fourth quarters modestly, to a loss of 13 cents and 12 cents a share from a loss of 17 cents and 16 cents, respectively."

Raised "modestly"? I think a raise of 24% and 18% shouldn't be considered modest. Especially since none of the others were considered modest even with smaller down/up grades.

I content of the news (excepting the method of conveying it). I agree with your hope that FLC's not set up for a fall.
