SSWM CEO Bruce Beattie commented, "We had a great second quarter as our higher gross profit margins helped offset increased business development costs related to future business in Mexico. The Company is undertaking new assessment and remediation contracts in Puebla and Veracruz and is working to complete the contracting paperwork for environmental emergency response centers located throughout the state of Veracruz. With the support of two state governors in Mexico for substantial emergency response and on-going remediation work, we expect to surpass 2005 revenues and look forward to a prosperous year in 2006."

Das der Kurs so stark fällt, hätte ich nie gedacht. Der Abwärtstrend ist nicht gebrochen und wurde durch den Freitag eher noch gekräftigt. Mit dem Nachkaufen warte ich jetzt, meine Stücke lasse ich aber liegen.
