Warning signs, ie signs that a company may be headed for trouble. 1) Eroding market share 2) Eroding margins 3) Negative earnings 4) Negative cash flow 5) Participates in an industry in decline. 6) Obsessive debt/leverage burden 7) Management turnover 8) Insider selling of shares 9) Increasing inventory, ie unsold product 10) Increasing receivables, ie uncollected bills 11) Noncompetitive products per price/feature level. 12) Lack of new product innovation. 13) Management unwilling/uncapable of changing course per changing market conditions. I would estimate that S3 fits the bill to about 10 of these conditions, up from 1 or 2 a year and a half ago before Gary Johnson took over control of S3.
