I've had it! Sold all my GBLX. Good luck everybody! I am happy with my double from the $24 range.

Reason? A half billion here, a half billion in preferred stock there. Soon we will be talking about real money. Cash flow has got to be impact at some point. I see a Conseco-like situation setting up here.

I enjoyed the posts here, especially Colluchio, Teddy, Sheldon and my old friend JDN. Good luck to all of you.

Tom,

"That being the case... I am absolutely thrilled to have my $ in the company that owns the firm which operates 80% of the cable laying vessels in the world."

Unless they've bought another fleet since buying Global Marine from C&W, your numbers are highly inflated. From the April press release announcing GBLX's purchase of the cable-laying fleet:

"Global Marine is the world's largest and most advanced undersea cable installation and maintenance company with a fleet of 13 cable ships (33 percent of the world's total), 21 submersible vehicles and 1,200 employees now servicing more than 35 percent of the world's undersea cable miles."
