Jim,

I'm wondering if HC isn't worth consideration Monday. I'm no chart reader, but since mid August we've had an upward trending wedge. The 60 minute BBs are tightening.

With all the new NG coming on line, I should think demand for compression products and service would be up. The analysts like it. Rated at 1.10.

HC reports Wednesday after hours. A good report might provide the pop. Any opinions on HC anyone?

Long at $32,

Dave

PS..Jim, thanks for your opinion on KWK.
