Agraff, Thanks for the informative but depressing post. I checked out the insider trading stats on EVI. There were 331,000 shares sold in August at an avg. price of $46. There were 4 sellers.GD

Barron's is the same publication that ran a major article pounding the table about the drillers and oil service stocks on Oct. 6. What do they want, create a sensation on both sides of the issue? This is strange behavior for supposedly reputable journalists. Did they get it wrong the first time and now they're making up for it? Or is it the other way around??? Thanks for posting the article. Barbara

Thanks for the article about insider selling. I have read it three times and can't find ESV or their insiders mentioned anywhere. I know this management team and I would be very surprised to see any of the officers or board sell any stock, much less a significant amount. They are dedicated to their goals and all have been with the company for a long period of time and do not have a need to dispose of their stock that they know will only appreciate in value. If you were the president, for instance, and had 1.8 million shares, as does Carl Thorne, why would you sell say 200,000 shares and cause a ripple in the value of your remaining shares??? Doesn't make sense to me. Jim.
