As far as I know, there are no further legal barriers to the B&W bankruptcy and the shielding of other MDR assets. The judge ruled Monday and that is it. No revisiting the case for a year.

Maybe we should just stick with our high-risk play in MDR rather than a low-risk play like ESV. Lets see....its very symmetrical....ESV has 8 times the market cap of MDR..MDR has 8 times the sales of ESV. ESV sells for 12 years sales...MDR sells for 20% of annual sales. ESV 2000 P/E is projected at 68 while MDR is around 15.
The shallow-water drillers have been the best performers in this cycle and they are looking very overpriced to me. I think they have had their day and it is now time for other groups to step forward (deepwater, services, construction and E&P). JMO.
