Stewart, I just discovered this thread while searching for PTV, which I see you had discussed back in August. Do you (or Terry) have any opinions on the stock now that the spin-off is complete? It's looking cheaper and cheaper and I really don't know much about the company, except that it has been in a major downward spiral for the last year. I did do extremely well buying NNS (Newport News) after the spinoff from TEN, but I was very knowledgeable about that industry. It was around 16 when spun-off, went as low as 13's and is now trading at 31+. Any opinions on PTV, or for that matter, TEN, appreciated. Thanks.
