In the spirit of ready, fire, aim, I'll take a first whack at SK and say that it's a far different company than it was when Peter Lynch used to talk about it. It merged with the waste portion of Laidlaw that as I recall was a perennial underperformer. Worse, Laidlaw still owns 43% of the shares and indicated last fall that they wanted to sell. This share overhang would depress the price in and of itself. If the used offal market is crummy as well, this would require a lot of study for me to determine the real value. Lau
