Down 9% on the news they are offering more shares, 9 million to be exact, which is about 33% of what is currently outstanding. I understand this is bad news for EPS numbers, but at the same time it will give them significant amount of cash to operate, and keep a strong balance sheet. The acquisitions should strengthen their role in the market. And everyone needs to move water and energy thus they will always be in demand. I like this one at these levels, it held through the whole bear market, I got out at $20, now I must say I think this is a great place to get in.

Not quite sure what to do with this thing. I bought it for a dead cat bounce b/c although it wasn't my favorite, it was too cheap. Regardless, I never thought that I'd be the score leader here. The thing to keep an eye on is how commoditized bids for municipality contracts are.
