Mike Re your post to John about DO and RIG. (I bought some DO yesterday.) Here are some numbers to compare: RIG: Rev $766m, Float 92m, Revenue/Float ratio 8.33. DO: Rev $877m, Float 58m, Revenue/Float ratio 15. Generally speaking, the experts say, if the ratio is too low the stock will move slugglishly; so, the higher the ratio the better. Lower float (outstanding shares less what is not available to buy=stock available to be purchased) is better too--less stock available, so less buying will move it. Based on smaller float, and higher ratio, DO is the one. TomLF
