I think you can also put a value on SEG's savvy in getting in early on all these things like Gadzooks.

I get about 5.4 billion for its Veritas, Sandisk, Gadzooks, and cash net of debt. Market Cap is about 5.8 billion. Excluded from that 5.4 billion are the hard disk business, the 35% Dragon stake, and whatever software business is left. Today they announced that they are turning 15% of their Veritas stake into about 500 mill in cash. The only problem with this is that the market values of Veritas, Sandisk, and Gadzooks are arguably at least twice what they should be. Still struggling with it myself.

BTW, New Holland had a great report today. Makes me wish the whole Case thing never happened and I could still own that stock.

Hi Jim. Nothing that I can see has changed for the worse for the muni. insurance business. I'm sticking with my pick MBI. Adding a little more to my position today. Paul.
