Iceberg - Some of those are "cute" (e.g., MAD, NUN, NUT, etc.), but none of them are as...um....sexy as LUST. My point was that the companies in the oil service sector-- with the exception of MIND and RIG -- all use these plodding, easily forgettable acronyms (CDG, TDW, ESV, etc.). Now, maybe their stock prices would begin to go up again (consistently!) if they could put a little come-hither into their stock symbols. Tell me, honestly, wouldn't you be at least tempted to buy a stock called PORNO?
