Mark-Yesterday, Robinson Humphrey lowered their June qtr est to 30c from 39c ..keeps s.t."hold" on the stock, calls it "high risk" for some reason-maybe because 78% of their revenue is from the North Sea (in sterling) and LTD levels seem a little high. They also don't hedge their sterling receivables or do any type of forward transactions according to their 10q....What are your views on this company?-just started looking at it

GMRK looks OK at a lower price, perhaps, but I like (and own) TDW better. TDW has a clean balance sheet as opposed to GMRK's 1.2-1 debt/equity ratio. Given that they are in similar businesses and have similar recent earnings histories, it seems that TDW with its larger capitalization -and it even pays a dividend- is a safer bet.
JMHO; if you know a compelling reason to prefer GMRK, I'd like to hear it.
