OT RE: "I think you're comparing apples and oranges"

Hi GV,

Book value is what your corporate insurance agent insures a company for - the tangible stuff that's captured with photos and spreadsheets.

Meanwhile, market cap is the valuation of the important stuff you really can't afford to lose if there's a fire - intellectual property, backup tapes, contracts.
