Hi Bobcor, I guess that's an ix-nay on TERN, then? <g> I confess I took the figures at face value. If the'book value' has no meaning, what chance does anyone who doesn't have access to the company's books have in determining valuation/fair value for a stock? Is this really the way this game is played? CNBC ran a special over Thanksgiving called, I think, "The Great Game", a history of Wall Street. The name is telling and a bit brazen, really- a tacit acknowledgement of the smoke and mirrors game it really is, overrun by thugs and thieves and gamblers since day one.<g> If this market were a movie, it would be "Secrets and Lies", or better yet, "Titanic". Way past time to bail. Looking for a good short, but afraid I'm too late for that. I'll keep tuning in here for ideas. Until then, I'll stand pat and be grateful for what I've managed to keep! -Kate
