pz; RE: VTS....just my little 'ole ''newbie'' opinion. A ''Director'' has recently sold a massive amount of stock this month; disconcertingly - over 1/2 of his remaining holdings. The ''insider trading'' link on Yahoo will take you there. VTS was the fund managers ''fav'' - as it ran right through the March selloffs, impervious to a sector wide plummet. I was ready to buy them on the recent dip, but bottom fed on EGEO, SEI & VSEIF instead. I'd hold off untill VTS ''shakes-out''...see what earnings hold; allthough it is a great company and this is a value - My finger is ''on the trigger'' with this one - something tells me though that there may be something up... Insider selling often means nothing, but selling off 1/2 of one's holding IS ''undeniably'' a statement and the market reacted accordingly. The only fundamental that I do not like on VTS is a very low EPS growth going into next year as compared to its peers. PGO is the clear leader in the Seismic subsector - the RIG'' of the Seismic sector if you will... GGY also looks good; ...just my ''newbie'' opinion !
