>>they still beat it.<< Yep. I just wanted to point out that they beat it by another penny. I guess it was pretty obvious that the off-shore drillers were going to meet or beat since utilization and dayrates were high for the entire quarter. The worry recently, sparked by Simmons, was about the second quarter. It's interesting to see now the shift in a matter of a couple of days from the future to the present. It may be possible to throw darts and make $$, as long as we don't hear the words "softening demand."
