Jim:
Thanks for your input on CBI.
You have added information that I do not and would not have available.
Your input has allowed me to firm up my rudimentary assessment of the =
company.
I do hope that there will be more input from you in the future on other =
items.

  Good Morning,

  I have been a long time lurker to this group and finally found =
something I knew a little about.  I work for a company that competes =
with CBI.  CBI is the leader in the tank erection field.  There recent =
purchases of PDM and Howe Baker has increased their sales and profit =
margins.  Since I know how competitive this field is, I probably would =
never invest in CBI.  CBI is in a very mature, highly competitive market =
and I don't really see them growing at a very rapid rate.

  Since I've been lurking for a while, I wanted to thank some of the =
regulars for their intelligent discussion concerning CANSLIM.  I enjoy =
my morning coffe with expert commentary from Katherine, Tom, Duke, and =
many others.

  Thanks for your insight.

  Jim

    CBI was offered for comment.

    My viiews are:

    Earnings cause some concern.
    Q4 of 2000 had a substantial loss of (-$4.18)  and Q2 of 2001 also =
had a loss of (-$0.13).
    The last four quarters were all positive and strong ($1.91), but I =
could not find a pattern in the flow of earnings.
    Revenues grew in all four quarters of 2000 and 2001, then fell in Q1 =
and Q2 of 2002, again making me uneasy.

    Looking at the price-volume chart, I see relatively light trading (I =
prefer at least 80,000 to 100,000 shares/day).
    Some increase occurs at about 02 July, but on an irregular basis.
    Price had been falling from 14 May until 23 July, then turned up.
    Last three days were down.
    Next I looked at a three year and a five year chart.
    Extrapolation on both of these imply that the next move is down.

    In summary:
    C=3D quarterly eps growing but irregular
    A=3D growing in last two years (this smoothes out the irregular =
quarters)
    N=3D Moved from bridge building to newer storage tanks including use =
for cryogenic and microelectronics
    S =3D ????   21 million shares outstanding (47,000 traded/day). =
Market Cap =3D $549 million.
    L =3D Is #2 in group #63
    I =3D appears a little weak ( but they have been sneaking in since =
02 July)
    M=3D Quick rotating market

    I need to see a little more  action up or down before I would commit =
or avoid this one, but it is certainly a good candidate to watch.

      I am particularly intrigued by the combination of a strong grwing =

        Here is one similar to CHTT, what do you think.

        DLI,  Rev last qtr of 93 mil, EPS of .53, dept/equity .97, shrs =
out 8.6, float 4.7

        CHTT Rev last qtr of 58 mil, EPS of .58, dept/equity 4.03, shrs =
out 9.5, float 8.1

        CHTT does have double the margin but much more dept. comments

        Chris
