jim_p - re: WG a fab co - ie :FGH UFAB GIFI ? WG is a construction & engineering services company - lots of bulldozers, front end loaders ,a huge landbased mega-construction co.... not a fab like FGH GIFI UFAB ? They clear jungles, dig pipeline ditches etc. ie:construction, engineering and specialty services to industry and government entities worldwide. Willbros provides these services utilizing approximately 811 units of heavy construction equipment, 1,171 units of transportation equipment and 5,399 units of support equipment that is comprised of marine vessels, barges, dredges, pipelaying equipment, heavy construction equipment, transportation equipment and camp equipment.

Also; insiders have been buying steadilly on WG for a long, long,long time - quite an old story and this has been an thread fav' basket small cap for some time... Insider buy & sells in the Oilpatch during the last 2 cycles hasn't been quite that good of an indicator; the buys better than the sells however imo.. ooops; that's commentary, sorry. jim_P - once again; it's the GOM Drillers "now" - better get a head start on the cut & paste...claim staking (VBG) ~ why don't you cut & paste Goldman's peak earnings capacity info & the % upside etc (but, of course never mention them in the footnotes etc.)... "Q" just discovered FLC recently and saaaaa prise, saaaa prise; rotated to some drillers cutting his E&P's - you're behind the follow the leader curve now jim (VBG)...C'Mon now; jump on that bandwagon - hurry up & follow...
