VRIO* out at 27 .. MTP beats estimates.. nice company went long yesterday.. Long MKG (another watch list alternate. been watching here for a reversal for a few weeks. It beat estimates very fine company. [Maalinckrodt Inc. Posts $0.49 2Q EPS vs. $0.27 Loss] will look for a position hold here or short term play)Don't expect to see a good chart here, I was expecting a profitable quarter after an unprofitable quarter last year.

Fourth-quarter earnings in 1998 were $1.26 per share, compared to 93 cents a share in the same quarter of 1997. ''Our financial performance in 1998 reflects the nonutility business successes we are having, which significantly offset the short-term impacts of utility deregulation and very weak oil and gas prices,'' said Robert P. Gannon, chairman, president and chief executive officer. ''Our independent power and telecommunications businesses provided a significant increase in both our fourth-quarter and annual earnings. In addition to the impact of deregulation, utility operations also were affected by weather that was 6 percent warmer than normal.'' Montana Power's consolidated revenues for 1998 were $1.25 billion compared to $1.02 billion in 1997. Net income available for common stock was $161.9 million compared to $124.9 million the preceding year *..I couldn't take it any more. I'll get back in when it turns. Like nursing someone with a chronic illness that just doesn't seem to go away. Something is not right with this stock lately and although it was up a point in the morning it lost it.
