re: Anyone following Franks International?

though its on a big run i've decided to hop in

Been wanting to get in since the IPO, but ordinarily I'm wary of IPO's, especially after the initial jump. Am I missing the boat by waiting until it's back until the $25 range?

Im also interested.. They arent going anywhere. Theyve been growing since they opened the doors 75 years ago. My grandfather worked there for 40+ years. Im actually on a job with one of their crews now.

I work for a competitor and we're expecting a HUGE 2014, they are also. Frank's is going to kill it next year, barring a BP type accident, I can promise you that.

Also, being that a lot of their work is overseas, they arent as dependent on the Gulf, like others.

Currently sitting at 24.49

FWIW, a cousin of mine trucks equipment for them and he has been delivering one of their special tools to SW Mississippi (can't remember the name of it). I assume this for the Tuscaloosa. Anyway, he said they told him to expect to be making many more trips over there in the coming year. Seems like all I hear about them is deepwater stuff but that isn't all they're into.

Mississippi.. any land work, for that matter. They can have it.

Do you say this because you don't like the financial/less productive side of land work as it pertains the prospect of the company (franks) or are you just saying that you don't care for the land work side of things as a personal employment preference?
