Yes, I understand that 2,3,4 cents=low single digits.

However, I like to differentiate between:

-- giving
-- speculating
-- investing

and if I am going to be giving, I already have my favorite
charities.

If I am going to be speculating I like to be able to be
able to at least guess my chance of this coming out beneficially:

1/10 ?
1/100 ?
1/1000 ?
1/1,000,000 ?

What odds would you guess that, say, 3 cents on the dollar
represents? I would say it is much less than 3 chances out of 100, because it is so close to 0 cents on the dollar.

Why do you think the bondholders are so pessimistic?

Is there no network there?
Are there no customers?
Are there no fixed assets?
Are the fixed assets worthless?

The normal "guesstimation" approach suggests that this
enterprise should have a value on that basis far higher than
"low single digits" on the dollar of bondholdings.

Therefore:

1) are the selling bondholders totally stupid?
2) or do they know much more than we do?

Namaste!

Jim
