I would NOT confuse the type & size of orders for UFAB & FGH FGH needs single orders equal to UFAB's entire yearly revenue just to even THINK about returning to favor... UFAB is a much smaller player, smaller orders - orders that are much more frequent and occur much earlier in the cycle than what FGH's do. UFAB only had $20 some Million in revenue last qtr - FGH needs a "SERIES" of $150 Million+ single orders ! - quite a cap ex spending difference. One needs junior exec level approval - the other (FGH's Rigs) need BOD , CEO & the analyst & bankers approval (VBG)... Do a little "DD" and look at the type of work they do thru Allen Tank etc - the GIFI & UFAB's and the GLBL - HOFF's and the CXIPY CDIS CXIPY's all recover sooner in the cycle than our "deadrat" bounce play will (VBG). Go UFAB - and they dont have a MILLION shorts that didnt cover after a damn 4 bagger, nor did I read any "expose's" about their book cookin in TheStreet.Com either ?!?! Also, did Beard structure the Allen Tank acquisition with an options deal that personally rewarded him by his shareprice tanking ?!?!? ... amazing, for all the honor & PC Police around here; why are you guys so quick to want to reward and to send your money to a company like you know who (VBG) with all their baggage & stench ? Ciao~ PS - still waiting on that "Deepwater History" lesson from our resident line straddler (VBG)? C'Mon - we got the emotional looney toon Spam Parade, now how about a little intellectual - Global Bull spin ? At least it will be worth reading and intellectually stimulating; even if I happen to disagree... c'mon Bull get that keyboard fired up. Hey, I'm well rested and I've got my Twin Nitrous fired 1000 mhz Pentiums well Oiled - and my 50,000 Watt Flamethrower keyboard ready to roll....(VBG). got crk ? ... hey, I visted my new "shrine" thread; and now I now what Sally Field felt like up on that Oscar stage: "they love me - they really , really love me"...
