Gateway's Caught Between a Box and a Hard Place By Glenn Curtis Columnist Is Gateway (NYSE:GTW - news) worth buying at these levels? I don't think so. Hold the email, folks. I realize that the well-known PC maker trades at a mere 1.1 times book value and at just 1.3 times cash. But the fact is, the company is in a pretty precarious position. Industry demand, or lack thereof, is an obvious concern. But I am even more worried about its cost structure. For the company to pick up market share and drive unit growth above and beyond its break-even point of about 1 million units per quarter, it's going to have to seriously ramp up its advertising expenditures. biz.yahoo.com
