I don't know much about accounting, but it looks to me that the ratio mkt. cap./Stockholders equity is really close to 1 now ( 85.76 mil / 11-12 mil shares; price =7.4) for SIMSCI. That means the stock is oversold. Correct ?!? I would appreciate answers from people that know accounting...
Buy the way - Stockholders equity more then doubled (97/96) - see below, and the price is about half. I think that SMCI is a great buy and hold till doubles... And I did already put my money where my mouse is !!!
