Roger, do you have any info on Brooke Group Ltd (BGL). It is a holding company owned by Bennett LeBow and controls the Liggett cigarette division (...smallest of the "Big 5" US cigarette makers. It produces L&M, Chesterfield, Lark, and Eve...) They also have interests in Russia and other assorted areas. It has recently risen from $2 to around $10, but has a book value (according to Yahoo) of -$25. BGL lost $0.86 in the latest quarter on declining revenues. How long can they stay afloat before going into bankrupcy? What is keeping the price up?
