From talking with management, I feel that they are in talks with a number of people about newsiq.com, newstream.com, and for a strategic investment in MDLK. and I think all of this will play out over the next 6 to 9 months. Did you also see that Brown Capital Management bought 20% of the company? Don't you think that is rather a substantial vote of confidence?

TRIIBoy initiates coverage of Bell & Howell (BHW) with a strong buy. BHW is about to announce their IPO of their www.bigchalk.com subsidiary, an excellent on-line education business, and I think it will be a big IPO, with a lot of hype. They are having a conference call on April 18. Investors should want to be in before the announcement of the IPO. I estimate that they will own 40% post IPO of Bigchalk.com, and that based on VC money raised (last round $55 million), and the wackiness in the market it should easily get a $1 billion valuation, so that would give them $400 million, out of their current EV of $1.3 billion, then you have a company trading at 5.9 times trailing EBITDA, that is about to split into two companies, their mail & messaging segment and their Information access division, which includes Bigchalk.com. Its just plain cheap and with some hype and some positive coverage it could easily double. Price target $60 per share.
