Jan, Frank,

I'm wondering if this autistic management even recognizes the fundamentals of shareholder value or they're just too steeped in their own arrogance to see.

Not one statement addressing any of this.
Unreal/surreal.

Onward,

George

I agree with stocktalk's assessment on the value of S3. All I have to quote is "the book value of a stock and it's share price will always converge at some point."

Lawsuits, market in rapid decline,
fleeing employees.

I feel as you do. My way to play a stagnant but well valued stock is to do a ratio write of out of the money calls. Today bought stock at 6 3/8 and sold July 10 calls at 3/4 at 2/1 ratio. This puts me into stock at 4 7/8 if stock does not recover in 1998. The strategy is to buy back half of calls should they reach 1 1/2. Danger is a strong up spike a la takeover or complete collapse, neither of which I expect.
