MXO believes it can sustain net margins of up to 7% and greater on occasions. As revs increase the 7% net margins will generate large amounts of cash.

Is this believable? 7% NET margins?

Just a little background. MXO's GROSS margins for the last 5 years.

1998: 12.5%

1999: 8.0%

2000: 13.9%

2001: 9.6%

2002: 10.5%

Since these are margins before ALL other expenses, little things like S,G & A, R & D and interest expense and taxes, it's hard to believe that MXO can suddenly go to 7% sustainable margins.

I'd like to believe it, but I've been a DD investor too long to buy it.

But if it's true...... MXO's a $20 stock.
