Clay, some info on WMB that you may want to post on your thread: Co. split 2 for 1 at the end of Dec. There were concerns about recent acquisition of MAPCO and the effect on earnings. Usually 2 for 1 splits are greeted bullishly by Wall Street. On Jan. 22, WMB's earnings came in a penny above expectations. Analyst's ratings are currently lukewarm but the conpany's report signifies that the acquisition did not hurt earnings and just might result in analyst upgrades in the near future. WMB is a component of the Dow Jones Utility average and on Smith Barney's 15 Exceptional Names List. Sergio
