JPEI You can add this to Mr. Prechter's bio:

"As I dig further, I am more fascinated with what I learn. This Mr. Prechter (new owner CEO) has bought his ASC Holdings - a nice operating shell and can move assetts into it fairly easily!!
In addition to what you desrcibe, ASC Holdings has an agreement for income based on improvement in JPEI's EBITDA !!
Also, Comerica Bank duly secured the JPEI holding of Mr. Prechter as collateral for a $US53MM note to Comerica Bank (strong).
When is the last time we saw a large bank take penny stock as collateral for a $53MM debt????
ASC Holdings also OWNS Heritage Media Group ( includes 12 Southeast Newspapers, heritage Development ( a real estate firm ) and Heritage Network, an investment firm and Acceptance Insurance Companies."

JPEI is a steady climber. More and more folks are hearing about its undervaluation and taking positions.
It is not a momo play. Good news this week and/or next week is expected. It is rumored that this old NASDAQ stock (was a $7 NASDAQ stock in 1997 and sales not as strong as they are now) is filing to go back.

How about a company that For the three months ended 3/00,
net sales totalled $37.7 million, up from $14.3 million.
Net income from continuing operations, before extraordinary
items fell 88% to $339 thousand, and it is trading at 50?? This s truly an
"UndiscoverdGem"
There is no way this should be .50 and pretty soon it wont!
