Baker Tech was thought to have bought its stake in CHO for a very good price, but until CHO provides some value to Baker -- whether from CHO dividends or sale proceeds of CHO shares -- it is probably still early to tell whether Benety Chang is as good a capital allocator as his past results proved. Retailers who believe in his ability can now buy CHO shares at at even better price.
Again, we are confronted with the question of when activity in offshore construction will resume its former glory. And for that matter, when oil prices will return to higher levels.
