It took me until now to recover and look again at MRVC with open eyes. We all know the story, and the pain lingers on, either forever or until you get it back!

>The barometer is the stock's price

Not really. Think for yourself ... its either a gift or a trap.

The book value at Dec is $6.57. If you exclude the value of Goodwill, Deferred Tax, Fixed Assets, Financing Costs it drops by $50m to $5.81/share. But we know that they don't have to pay face value to pay off the LT debt so real liquidation value is around $6.50/share. For a tech company that just won two awards at ComNet??? Yes, they have margin problems, but they are not draining cash away and the future has great potential.

I am convinced again that MRVC is a great deal, and I'm buying with both fists ... I even raised my bid this morning to 6 7/16 just to get filled before I go on holidays. I'll put in another bid for 6.25 in case I get as lucky as Sector <g>

Best luck to all,

** David
