Speculative bet that small nuclear reactors begin to play an increasingly large roll in our future energy mix. BWC has a strong position in this space w/ some of the best designs and a continuing income stream from the Navy.

Good stock. Too high of a PE though. This is a tracker.

Just signed an agreement with TVA, would seem to validate the "mini-Nuke" approach.

Nuclear scare drop and continued growth. This is a win-win

The company's 3rd generation "mPower" Advanced Light Water Reactor (ALWR) will be a key product as countries around the world replace aging nuclear reactors and bring new plants online, particularly in China).

BWC is positioned to take advantage of the world energy supply demand increase. It has an established reputation in the steam generation electrical energy sector, particularly in Coal, CC HRSG, and Nuclear. The combination of after-market and new system supply demand increases both in the US and abroad, make BWC a great bet for the future

The smaller, modular style of reactor B&W is planning will be a disruptive force in the nuclear industry. Factory-built and delivered to the site ready to "plug-and-play," tt can be scaled up as necessary to meet customers' growing demand.

The key will be getting the design approved, and even though smaller in size no one wants a nuclear power plant in their backyard. These are traditional concerns for a very untraditional technology however, and B&W should be able to overcome these obstacles.

The stock has soared since its spinoff last summer, but should be a good long-term addition to a portfolio.

Long range forecasting is a little too iffy for me -- the more distant the forecast, the exponentially more variables.

Sum it up -- don't bite off more than you can chew.

What are you going to do with this wisdom, Mr M. Fool -- publish it and make me rich?

I look forward to your check in the mail.

Cordially,
Annoying Old Guy in LA.

I've liked and owned MDR for a while. The spinoff should only create new opportunities for both companies. I'll hold my shares, if any sort of sell off develops as a result of the spinoff, I'll buy a few more.
