J. Bash: Thanks for your work on COO. I've started to take profits.

Also, FWIW,

Buying today: CP Clare (CPCL). Stock is about 6.
$55M in sales being bought out for $36M. Converts to $3.8/sh in cash . (There's no long term debt.) Remaining 89M sales maybe (that's MAYBE) might be worth about the same ratio (to a strategic buyer). Would be about $6.2/sh. Total fair value for CPCL is somewhere about 6.2/sh + 3.8/sh or $10/sh (imo). Book value is 9. Marty Whitman has been a buyer at prices between 7 and 12 last year, he has said. (I do not know if he still has a position.)

Buying also: Evans and Sutherland (ESCC) At about 12.25. Book value at $17 per Yahoo. Historical ROE, ROA: lousy. And recently they've announced a loss for their latest quarter. PSR and P/bv look relatively good (relative to past years). Sales have been slowly increasing. My screen shows net-net value to be $12.29/sh. (But I don't know if I believe my screen -g-.)

regards, P. Senior
