re: BEAV
I have only spent a little time on this one. How is BEAV going to ride it out if there is a 20-30% overcapacity in the aircraft industry? Do they have "take or pay" contracts? Or are you assuming the demand shortfall is a blip?

Paul,

As far as I could tell, from looking at the company reports, BEAV has a significantly negative tangible book value from goodwill ($700 million in acquisitions). It wasn't called goodwill but "intangible assets" but I assume it amounts to the same thing. On the other hand depreciation of that goodwill depresses earnings considerably so cash earnings are much higher.
