Fluor v Perini - A Rising Tide does not Lift all Boats

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 16:55:00 GMT

Fluor (FLR) and Perini (PCR) are in the same sector - infrastructure. That's about all they have in common. I have owned both at one time or the other, but clearly owning Perini (PCR) was a mistake. My thesis with infrastucture is to focus on the customer base - oil rich Arabs, trade rich Chinese, and essentially bankrupt US government with unending pocketbook (read: your taxes). That was my error with Perini - unfortunately their customer base is heavily focused on non federal government Americans (although they are trying to change that) i.e. local governments, US customers who need credit lines - casinos for example (Jan 17: Pe[More...]

In addition, the October numbers were revised downward from the originally reported 728,000. Nationwide it was a 9.0% decline for the month and a 34.4% decline year over year. However, for the month, there were big regional disparities. Worst hit was the Midwest, down 27.6%, followed by a 19.3% decline in the Northeast. The South was down 'just' 6.4% and the West was...[More...]

Aug. 18--TRADERS POCKET HOLIDAY PROFITS: It is peak holiday season and many fund managers have left the City to soak up the sun.
So what better time for those marketmakers who desperately need to replenish short book positions, to "shake the tree" and hope that a few nervous investors fall out?
Nervousness certainly spread to Asian markets overnight and China's Shanghai Composite index posted its biggest percentage drop (5.8pc) since November.
