You're on the right track. "I do not believe the orders are "just in case" orders. I believe they are very real, the equipment is needed, "

Keep in mind, typically the booking has some good faith money with it, and cancel fees too.

There is 7 - 15% up front money that typically goes with a solid booking. Otherwise, it is booked on Spec. There are only a few Bookings per quarter on Speculations allowed.

Good luck.

Stan

Right -- I am just trying to relate what I heard on the call. They did say that orders are sometimes placed in this way.
