Here's a link to the earnings.
First impression on a quick scan is they met the 0.36 a share earnings esitmate and have just blown the doors off of every other metric. Their margins are expanding big time.

I havent had time yet to examine in detail but on the surface this looks very good in my opinion

FE closed today:
10.80 / 0.25 a share = 43.2 PE ratio
FE opens tomorrow:
10.80(?) / 0.36 a share = 30 PE ratio
If we assume the same PE ratio tomorrow as today we get:
43.2 * 0.36 a share = $15.55
BTW this company, given YOY earnings growth of about 144% should be trading at up to a 288 multiple. 43.2 is a joke. West Energy, as we have talked about before, trades at 198.

100% increase in cash flow per share and increased reserve life also very good

Yes I am much much happier with FE than I was a month ago. Managed to load up nicely again under $8 on the last decline there. Now, let's see what the market has to say about this earning report over the next week. Hopefully we'll be all smiles.
