Razor, CFK trades on the AMEX and I got my info off Yahoo, I also got a PM from another SI member that I'm copying here. Saturday, December 30, 2000 3:59 PM ET To: stevedhu From: tommycanuck A little insight on CFK from the Canadian side of the border. The company in its current form comes from the merger of Continental Emsco and Franklin Supply, both longtime names in the Canadian oilpatch. Recently merged into the Wilson Supply brand which I believe that Smith International owned in the States. The company is pure and simple a oilfield distributor of ongoing operating supplies to the servicing, drilling and E&P companies. Has had a wild ride over the past 4 years on the markets. The company has made a big push into the business of handling the entire supply chain management for the companies it sells to. For example it sells valves, line pipe etc to companies from its locations. Very efficient and starting to catch on. May result in some big numbers in the short term but the company struggles a little because of its size and the strain on the patch from the people side. Could be a winner in short term as activity ramps up here but make sure to pick an exit point as it trades pretty thinly. Take Care Steve
