Jeffrey IMHO Polaroid is a perennial "poisonous dented can." I have no interest in owning a Polaroid camera, people (including myself) now interested in digital cameras, and being able to post photos on web, etc. The last time I remember anyone use a Polaroid camera was to take a photo of my VIN on my car for insurance purposes a year ago. Truth! This cuts to the heart of why I am moving on to a growth investment strategy vs. trying to figure out which "dented can" is OK and which are poisonous. IMO an investment in Polaroid as a "value" stock (as opposed to short term trading) requires you to disregard new evolution in technology (digital cameras, lessening demand in high-end cameras have resulted in less expensive yet good quality 35mm point and shoot cameras), and assume the status quo is going to continue: "people will always want instant photography." IMO...instant photography is a slowly dying business. If anything Polaroid is worth watching as a short. JMO. Best of luck, all.
