Greg Palkon: Re: WCEC. Talk about catching a falling knife! Nothing but down on that stock. Here's what you might check out (pun): There's a WCEC thread which I would assume you've already looked at. Mr. Jim Hopkins has posted here about VUPDA (Check out the VUPDA thread). VUPDA vs. WCEC P/bk .7 vs. .3 p/e 13 vs. 6 psr .7 vs. .3 Using Yahoo... which I've not had much confidence in lately... WCEC looks good, but there is this matter... ROA 4.5% vs. 3.6% debt/eq 0 vs. .4 Also, at my first glance, VUPDA looks like it is, or might be pretty close in size to WCEC in terms of stores (depending on how one counts franchises?). I don't think the video rental biz is going away. Seems like there's industry consolidation; maybe nobody can make a profit with all the competition. Did I read somewhere that it is WCEC who are doing the unconventional (and being successful) by opening stores in the "best" locations... even if those stores are right next to Blockbuster stores? Based on my 10 min. with WCEC, it seems like it could be of interest to value players.Paul Senior
