- thanks for the run down on ntai - good to see that it's depressed stock price has been confounding folks for so long

- 2 more pluses for ntai:

- #1 - Indonesia & Malaysai were going to be the next Asian Tigers - but the civil upheaval & attacks on Westerners & Chinese types - have prevented a lot of companies from moving there

- #2 - NTAI has been given a few tax breaks & preferential gov't deals - some speculate on yahoo that it's b/c NTAI is basically a local Chinese company & well-connected

Paul,

- are you still holding your nam tai (ntai)?

- if you look at the company's book value - it's about $15/share

- earnings are about $1.75

- but given the way NTAI practically stole some plants in a distress sale a few years back; I think their real book value is maybe $20/share

- in any event, put a 20 p/e on earnings + book & you get a share price considerably higher than today's $18
