Lemon,
I bought HAL today just to get in on the KBR ipo. If they give me 1 share for every 10 of HAL , it's an easy 4.5% assuming KBR is 15 per share and HAL is 33, however I got lucky and HAL rose 2% after my purchase.

Personally, HAL or maybe their evil twin KBR is a despicable company. In doing research I was shocked to find that the water they sell to the govt. (for the troops) was tested to be twice as contaminated as water flowing through the Euphrates River (with floating bodies etc.) If this company is good enough for the vice pres. (has 10 mill. in options) it's good enough for me.

I don't know about the water stuff, probably true along with a lot of other bad stuff. I'm just thinking that the oil service companies are coming back in favor and this one is breaking out first. Good luck with your position.

Did I mention it's sitting right on the edge of a multi month inverted H&S or C&H that could take it to around 41 from here at 34?

lemonjello, did you serve with the 173rd Airborne? I noticed your link...

[lemonjello]

Nope, just know some people that have been in the same situation. Anysoldier.com is good service that shows you how to send packages of books, snacks, etc. from home to guys/gals on the ground in the Afghanistan and Iraq. They include all the branches but mainly Army and Marines.

There are also other locations but I'm not sure the folks stationed in Kuwait or Bahrain need it as much (since they can go to the local mall, KFC, Burger King or Mexican restaurant).

I love www.anysoldier.com!! I got hooked on this site about a year ago and began sending boxes of goodies to the military personnel serving in Iraq. I think I sent 20 or 25 boxes. I haven't sent any recently. Seeing this mention of www.anysoldier.com here makes me want to send another few boxes very soon. Time to go shopping!

Here comes HAL

Here comes HAL

Yes, if . . . .
HAL will be a nice play if HAL can exaughst the selling pressure at $34. Those topping wicks show that some massive holders are selling into strength at that level. If the bulls have enough strength to overcome this, HAL could be very, very nice.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'll watch for a break over $34.

Libyan Court Upholds Death Sentences
By CRAIG SMITH

PARIS, Dec. 19 — A Libyan court again sentenced five Bulgarian nurses and a Palestinian doctor to be shot by a firing squad for deliberately infecting 400 children with H.I.V., further complicating the country’s efforts to improve relations with the West.

Today’s verdict drew expressions of anger and alarm from Bulgaria and its supporters in the nearly eight-year-old case, which now appears likely to drag on for months more, if not years. Lawyers for the medical workers said they would appeal the sentence to Libya’s Supreme Court.

“We are going to urge the Libyan political leadership to engage in the process,” said Bulgaria’s foreign minister and deputy prime minister, Ivailo Kalfin, from Washington, where he met with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice hours after the verdict was announced.

Mr. Kalfin said that his country was working through the Libyan foreign ministry to ask the Libyan leader, Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi, and the country’s political institutions to intervene, because Libya’s inefficient and biased judicial system had failed to deal with the case credibly. He called the verdict “absolutely unfounded and unfair.”

The case began in February 1998 when the nurses arrived to work at the Al Fateh Children’s Hospital in Benghazi, the country’s second-largest city. By August 1998, children at the hospital had begun testing positive for H.I.V., the virus that causes AIDS. Health authorities soon realized they had a huge problem.

An official investigation concluded that the infections had been concentrated in the wards where the Bulgarian nurses had been assigned. Dozens of Bulgarian medical workers were arrested, and a videotaped search of one nurse’s apartment turned up vials of H.I.V.-tainted blood.

According to a Libyan intelligence report submitted to the court, the nurse, Kristiyana Vulcheva, later confessed that the vials were given to her by a British friend who was working for the KBR subsidiary of Halliburton at the time. The nurse was quoted in the report as saying that she and her colleagues used the vials to infect the children.

Col. Qaddafi subsequently charged that the health care workers had acted on the orders of the Central Intelligence Agency and Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad.

KBR is primarily an engineering and construction company, but it undertakes many kinds of contract work for the United States Department of Defense and other agencies, and its activities in Iraq and elsewhere have sometimes been controversial.
