company(cvi) is not doing to good. company sent out memo that they are in a budget crisis. manufacture of product is over projected cost. all spending has to be pre-approved. it is not looking good for this company.

This a competion pick against my friend. He subscribes to the view that the recent quarter was a reset quarter. The write downs of equipment, and the lowered outlook were to help the new management start with a clean slate. I took away a very different view from the events that transpired today (12.12.07).

Here's what made me uneasy:
*Missed earnings and I don't care why, that's bad.
*Beat on revenue. (I didn't know dividends were paid out in revenue)
*Lower margins (barf)
*Lowered guidence (Who would wipe out market value to give management an easier bar to clear? Those people own the stock)
*Huge amounts of debt 861m vs a market cap of 1.77B
*Trailing P/E > 66.50
