Well, as I said NMGC is "speculative" to say the least. The thing I like about the situation there is that management took a very bold step and killed off a business that was still pretty large, before it really faded away and dragged the whole company down with it. I've seen the later happen so many times that one almost expects management to go on fighting the "last war" until there's nobody left standing.

That NMGC faced up to the situation they were in, so early, is very positive in my view. Of course, everything will depend upon their execution and the development of the markets they have targeted. We'll see...

Well, so far my list of 4 companies(SRNA, IMSC, CLTK and NMGC) has done pretty well. IMSC was taken out today and is now about $21, up from $10 on April 4. SRNA has gone from $5.50 to $24. The other two are still languishing, but, time will tell. CLTK is still very attractive in my book as a takeover target.
