Bruce, not so fast, they have only about $16 MM in cash and they have $110 in short term borrowing. Their book is indeed $12/share, but unless their sales rapidly go above about $275 MM quarterly, they will continue to bleed. The "concessus estimate is for a loss of $4 next year (close to this year's loss) thus their book will be reduced to $8/share, they will have to borrow an additional $100 MM or so, if indeed they'll lose $4/share in 1999 (I just cannot see that kind of a loss, since sooner or later, someone will have to fold, and I do not think it will be WFR).

The point I am trying to make is it might still be too early to jump. I suggest and see where the next October massacre gets us before jumping with two feet.
