Jim, EBSC does seem interesting. I have four questions:

The following chart shows that they have the worst performance of their peers. Do you know why?

techstocks.com

Why mightn't this be a situation that stays cheap (for a long time) until they have bought back so much stock that a potential acquirer finds the cost he has to pay reduced to where it is irresistible?

How badly will Internet shopping hurt them fundamentally in the longer term (or their valuation - this ain't no Amazon)?
