SLB up 11/16? PDE up 1/16? A bit of a bounceback? It's been choppy waters but I think the winds are still good ones.

comment from Thomson I-watch on FLC: FLC -- Oil & Gas-Drill -- Basic Materials 20-May-99 13:22:46 R&B Falcon is underperforming the broader drilling sector, trading $9/16 weaker at $9 3/8 on over 4 million shares of volume. The firm is trading lower in reaction to news that Petrobas cancelled a drilling contract with the firm which will negatively effect FLC's earnings. Institutional activity is behind the stock's trading today with about 45% of the volume stemming from block trades. Pre-trade indications from brokers shows the stock has support from the institutional community above $9 to $9 3/8. The bids should help keep FLC off its intra-day low of $9 1/16 and potentially push the stock back toward the break even mark. thomsoninvest.net
