No. But I believe that PCLN with its invalid business modell is a candidate to trade at cash value. Selling pressure is still very high. Cash value means that you can chop off another 60% from todays price.... What a joke the name is...name your price - for priceline,...

Nasty end of sad story: BRADQ, and it cares the hell about its former customers...very american behaviour. Thursday December 28, 9:13 pm Eastern Time Court Order Against Bradlees Sought By The Associated Press Connnecticut and Massachusetts officials are seeking a federal court order that would force troubled retailer Bradlees Inc. (NasdaqNM:BRAD - news) to honor gift certificates and merchandise returns during its bid for bankruptcy. Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal announced Thursday that he filed a motion with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in New York, where Bradlees has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Massachusetts Treasurer Shannon P. O'Brien said Thursday that her office would file a claim in the same court to hold Bradlees responsible for all abandoned property held by the company, including gift certificates, layaway deposits, credit balances and outstanding payroll checks. Bradlees, based in Braintree, Mass., confirmed Tuesday that it will go out of business, putting nearly 10,000 people out of work. The company operates 105 stores and three distribution centers in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Maine, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The company, founded in New London, Conn. in 1958, has agreed to sell its remaining inventory to Gordon Brothers Retail Partners LLC. Bradlees officials expect to close all of the stores within eight weeks. Blumenthal said Bradlees is refusing to accept returns or exchanges and is not honoring gift certificates. ``This company's actions represent the height of hypocrisy,'' Blumenthal said. ``Bradlees sold millions of dollars worth of gift certificates during the holiday season while planning for possible bankruptcy.'' Blumenthal said the decision not to honor gift certificates or accept returns was a business decision made by Bradlees officials. ``It was not a court order, as Bradlees might have customers believe,'' Blumenthal said. Blumenthal urged consumers to be cautious when shopping at Bradlees. He said no merchandise purchased after Dec. 26 can be returned or exchanged. O'Brien offered similar comments about Bradlees. ``Many customers .... purchased Bradlees gift certificates to give to their family and friends,'' O'Brien said. ``It's outrageous and unfair for Bradlees to then turn around the day after Christmas and refuse to honor those certificates.'' Bradlees officials could not be reached for comment. No one answered the telephone at the company's corporate headquarters Thursday evening.
