The thing to remember with Net current assets is that the inventory (as well as other things) is often worth considerably less in a liquidation. So when you buy net-nets, like I did with DIYH, and they close stores, inventory only brings in the 65% range. I agree....in Security Analysis, Graham gives a chart that shows his discounts for various categories. In my evaluations, I count receivables at 80%, Inventory at 66%, and all long term assets at 50%. I haven't looked at DIHY or FRDM yet.
