Steve, you may or may not wish to refer to reply #4168 posted December 1 at 11:04 P.M. for a humble man's experiences/opinions. During RIG's takeover fight for Transocean(which of course they won over Reading and Bates), management took the time to talk to me, a small shareholder. They confidently told me that they were already several moves ahead in their battle plan for Transocean. During more recent conversations, I get the feeling in my heart that this company will have an extraordinary future. I feel assured that business fundamentals are excellent now and in the future. Whenever I call a company, I get a vibe or feel-some have it, some don't. RIG has it.
