P9,
The company has weathered 140 plus dollar per barrel oil, the worst economy since the great depression and the age 60 to 65 change. They did it without furlough and still managed to make money.... or at least scramble to show a paper loss. How can the economy get much worse? And during this whole debacle the Chinese and Indian economies have hummed along. Remember all the future growth is in the international market. Since the company has said that international is our future....let's get something for everyone out of this.
Obviously this is barring an un-forseen disaster...... in which case all bets are off, but then we will have bigger things to worry about anyway....
