barter,how about pbls.it is a wonderful katrina cleanup play.they have the closest gravel and sand pit to the ravaged n.o area and the sandbags used to stop up the water was from pbls.they have a bunch of trucks used to take away the mess from katrina,(which we know will last for years)and they were already contracted(before katrina)for work on the i-10.they have cement fleet plus other business as well.also,the gravel pit they have was valuated about 9 years ago at roughly 260,000,000 now their talking about a possible reevaluation of the pit and expect it to double.it was supposed to last for 25 years,now it could last only 5 years due to the need in n.o.it has started its run but with a few prs in the pipeline we could go much higher.investors are thinking this is the stock for 2005!hope you enjoy your dd on this one.
