James, Re: SJP

I've been watching it closely - it's been near the top of my
list, but I'm always waiting for it to get a little cheaper
and a little cheaper and a little cheaper... Now it's falling
on very high volume. Due to the 4 million share offering
by the majority holder? If I'm reading it right, all this
will do is increase the float, along with that 3 for 1 stock
split. An attempt to increase institutional ownership over
that 20% hump? Is the market reading this as dilutive and hence
dumping shares for no reason?

At 90, I'm oh so very tempted. However, I started cashing out of many
of my stocks (85% to be exact) in November because I have
big fears about the effects of Asia's cheap currency on US multinationals, the flood of cheap imports competing with US
companies, and hence the market. A time of great opportunity
for the value investor may be at hand, and I don't want to squander a
cent prematurely. I'm pretty sick of prospecting for poor
businesses at cheap prices during a roaring bull and look
forward to buying great businesses at discounts during a true bear,
even if it is a modest one.

But it's worth 150? I look forward to your analysis.

Mike
