RIG's earnings will be reported at about 8:00 A.M. EST (tommorrow morning). First Call is looking for 44 cents. There should be an 8 or 9 cent(after tax) charge for the exit from GOM turnkey operations. But again, after the charge, First Call expects 44 cents. I believe that RIG is very confident about its future. I don't see the likelihood of any negative forward looking statements at all. RIG's business is strengthening. I won't be back on the thread until late tomorrow afternoon. As you can imagine, I'm counting the hours before the release. I'm probably not the only one who counts the hours until his favorite company reports. Hopeing for the best- John
