> and rely on their break-even book sales (as reported in 1/99) to carry them through > the difficult period. And how do they come up with the interest for their debt payments? Break-even book sales arent going to cover it.. :)

I've been waiting 30 minutes for a lousy 100 AOL puts.. (August 100) Doesnt surprise me, there probably are no sellers, because most sellers previously were likely uncovered.. they don't dare in this environment!!

Robert <Worse case scenario: they can't raise cash (highly unlikely)> Sorry, they can't just go from burning cash like a house on fire to standing still and turning a profit. As to their ability to raise cash -- give me a break -- its a crap shoot. In the highly unlikely event that they raise profit margins, turn profitable and do not need a massive blood infusion in the next twelve months the result would be to slash their stock price to next to nothing -- nobody would want to own this thing -- nobody.
