Water-Stocks.com Features Water Stock Update: "Insiders Fill Up on Water Shortage Play" at the Insiders Corner by Michael Brush
POINT ROBERTS, Wash., DELTA, B.C. July 21, 2006 - www.Water-Stocks.com (WS), an investor and industry news portal for the water sector, presents exclusive market commentary in an article titled, "Insiders Fill Up on Water Shortage Play”, part of the regular "Insiders Corner” column, by well-known financial writer and author Michael Brush. Mr. Brush also writes a weekly market column for CNBC on MSN Money. This week’s column takes a look at global factors driving opportunities in the water market. Mr. Brush highlights key issues such as water scarcity and infrastructure build-outs that have created increasing resource needs and benefited companies that sell purification products and transport equipment.
“Shortages of fresh water are a major problem in both developed and developing countries. Companies that sell equipment used to transmit or purify water should benefit. The pipes, valves and pumps that transport water throughout many parts of the U.S. are over a hundred years old and in bad shape. So a major replacement cycle lies ahead,” explains Brush.

Insiders Fill Up on Water Shortage Play
July 20, 2006
The upshot: There are now shortages of fresh water on every continent, says Brean Murray, Carret & Co. analyst Michael Gaugler. The Southwestern region of the U.S., of course, has had problems for years. In China and the Middle East big projects are under way to create new supplies. Parts of Africa and India have shortages that create ongoing crop failure and mortalities.
These trends have sparked investor interest in water-related stocks -- or the companies that not only sell water but also supply the equipment that purifies it and desalinates it, and pipes it to your kitchen.
So it should be no surprise that insiders were buying heavily when some of the stock of one of the biggest water infrastructure equipment companies, or Mueller Water Products, was spun out of its parent company. In the first ten days of June, they purchased $3.4 million worth of Mueller stock for prices between $15.26 and $16.
