Paul re: NCS I have never been very good at understanding that darn asset called goodwill. As I see it, without goodwill NCS doesn't have enough assets to cover their liabilities (granted the LT Debt caused the goodwill). But since the LT debt will obviously be paid off before the goodwill is fully amortized, I'd be inclined to think cash flow is going to be somewhat rough??? Of course they do have decent earnings and several good ratios. I appreciate your comments but will sit this one on the sidelines. I will however leave it on my monitor of stocks to watch, because anything has to be safer than these big caps that pre-announce.
