Here is a "tech" stock which has been hammered, and now is approaching the value realm. I have no position in it, I have followed its ups and downs for years, it being headquartered close to home: MAPS (Map Info Corp.) 2.18/1 Current Ratio Small amount of LTD (8 million) $2.35/sh. in cash and short term investments $5.14/sh. BV $4.32/sh. net tangible assets 52 week high/low/current 17.37/3.95/3.75 It's been hurt like most in this downturn, reporting net operating losses. Any comments on this very thinly traded fallen angel?

<<<What about technology value stocks.>>> I picked up a few shares of AMD at 3.71 (1/3 book value) Friday morning. Naturally it fell another .20 since then. It's looking like I should have kept my put portfolio a while longer. I've been getting clobbered pretty good since I started buying stock again, and I was able to resist as long as I could. I don't have a fuzzy clue where techs are going to bottom, but some of the prices I'm seeing have me almost as amazed as I'd be if I pulled into a filling station and saw gas at forty cents a gallon. Oh well.
