Why not stick with a company with a fleet of 7 fourth
generation semisubmersibles(the most in the world), that
has much of its business already booked through 2001(more
business booked at high dayrates than any in the world)
A company that is not experiencing any weakness at all.
A company that blew away estimates last quarter and
should do it again for as far as the eye can see.

All of this info is readily available in each of the co's 10-K reports, free in the Edgar database. Not all list expiration dates, but most do.

sec.gov
or:
sec.gov

This is a sample of what you get for RIG's 10K for 3/20/98:

sec.gov

basically an annual report without all the rah, rah fluff and pretty pictures, and much more realistic discussion of business risks and competition.
