    No, it's probably not a scam, because after reading that first line, you get this at the bottom...

    The company was founded in 1889 and is headquartered in The Hague, the Netherlands.

    How stoned do you have to be to call your company Chicago Bridge and Iron in 1889 if you're based in Holland, and come up with that mission statement? Well, a lot. And since they are based in Holland, they have had unlimited access to the wacky tobaccy for almost 130 years.

  4. CB&I was founded in 1889 by Horace E. Horton in Chicago, Illinois, USA. While initially involved in bridge design and construction, CB&I turned its focus to bulk liquid storage in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, coinciding with the western expansion of railroads across the United States and the discovery of oil in the Southwest. CB&I quickly became known for design engineering and field construction of elevated water storage tanks, above-ground tanks for storage of petroleum and refined products, refinery process vessels and other steel plate structures.As such, CB&I supported the expansion of oil exploration outside the US, starting operations in South America in 1924, in Asia two years later and in the Middle East in 1939.

    During World War II, CB&I was selected to build Landing Ship Tanks (LSTs), which carried troops and supplies to American and Allied troops fighting in Europe and the Pacific theater.CB&I was chosen because of their reputation and skills, particularly welding.Since the coastal shipyards were busy building large vessels for the war effort, such as aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers and destroyers, there was no alternative but to use the inland waterways and shipyards for the production of smaller ships. As a result of these and other wartime production activities, CB&I ranked 92nd among US corporations in the value of World War II military production contracts.[5]

    CB&I has been involved in a number of changes during the past two decades. It was acquired by Praxair in 1996; Praxair kept a chemical subsidiary and spun off CB&I as a Dutch-incorporated company the next year.[3] CB&I headquarters moved from Chicago to Houston, Texas in 2001 and then to the Hague, Netherlands when Texas enacted a franchise tax

    K, I didn't do the research. Your facts are accurate. But my comments are funnier and I win a cookie because that current line that was posted is stupidly laconic. Just SAY it was founded in Chicago, USA and is NOW has HQ in Holland. Sheesh. Short them based on that alone. *shrugs*

    Yesterday was a snoozer, no trades for me, today is looking the same, watching Gold, and MZOR, MZOR could be a break over 45 but the news is pretty flimsy so nothing to chase too hard.

    The U.S. has been talking to North Korea, and paying them extortion money, for 25 years. Talking is not the answer!
