- Heck yeah, I think BSC is way undervalued.

- BSC made $245 mill for qtr ending 12/31/99; or close to $1 bill annualized

- with a market cap of only $7.4 bill (185 mill shs X $40/sh), BSC could buy back all its shares in 7.4 years

- But given Bear's book value, of like $25 or $30, they could even do it more quickly

- with the buyback; great earnings, etc... I just can't see the stock staying below $70; let alone under $40, much longer. Who knows?

- is it possible that just as the dot.coms were totally overalued; that now the financials & insurance are just as undervalued?

- just like the market came to its senses; & E-toys has gone from 80 to 6; is it possible for BSC to go from $40 to $120?

- I just don't see how an asset/cash/income positive company can continue trading at such a cheap multiple
