Halter marine / HLX ... the best Earnings release yet...the beat goes on ! Halters backlog now exceeds their total sales from last year. Earnings @ .21 cents versus .14 cent analyst estimates according to zacks & yahoo = a 50% upside surprise with that backlog and selling at all most 1/3 of 52 week high ? - go figure. Can you imagine if DELL, MFST or Yahoo beat estimates by 50% or if Intel had a backlog greater than last years sales ? We are gluttons for punishment and have become the markets whipping boy...(unfortunately). ...curious as to how FGII (similar fab bus.) compares when they release... I really like RIG, CXIPY, SCSWF,PGO,VTS, HLX,OMNI ,SEI going forward for limited downside and EVI, CDG, FGII, VRC, MDCO, DO, FLC for long term fundamental value. I still say these earnings releases overall will be strongly positive in light of expectations...but we probably will not see much reaction.
