Apparently false.
Diamond Offshore Drilling (NYSE: DO) is coming off the day's lows as it now appears the leak that investors were worried about today is old news.

The well in question is in the process of being plugged and abandon after being damaged in 2004 by Hurricane Ivan.
Sit.


Stay.



Good boy!!

\"Trust, but Verify\", as the saying goes. It appears Armageddon is postponed - I think I'll have dinner then.

Picking a critiquer
You want to try to pick people who will be useful. This means that you don't want someone who is going to read your entire 180K word MS and have nothing more to say than, \"I liked it\". Yes, that feels all nice and warm-fuzzy, but it doesn't help you. Nor do you want someone who is going to throw the MS at your head and exclaim loudly that it sucks. Not only doesn't that feel nice, but if the MS is 180K it could really do you some damage. The reason you don't want either of these two types of critiquers is the SAME, though: they aren't useful.
