I think the point you made about O&G companies not letting billion $ assets deteriorate in good times or bad is particularly pertinent given the doom and gloom around for 08.
NMS will be servicing O&G sub sea infrastructure around the globe for some time to come imo. Can't wait for the day when I have to make a choice between dividends or DRP.
