AV -- FWIW Ray, the following companies on the SCAN you created are popping up on the update, newsletter, forums, spam sheets, etal. This may be just another factor to consider. BAGL-CYMN-FINE-HART-LEAP-POG They are necessarily the worst Book Value cases on the list but they are getting internet exposure via the above mentioned investment "vehicles". Andrew BTW-do you have the hit ratio for, say, the results if one invested in the worst 5 cases that have no litigation, impending litigation, or a cloud over their head. It would be an interesting statistic to determine how well this type of bottom fishing performs. If I had bandwidth and a staff to provide the service, I would love to find out how many of the biggest losers of the day on each exchange regain their huge losses within 1 month of their precipitous drop. Too many numbers and too much information out in the general perview and not enough bodies to do the analysis. Way back when I first started on this thread, I had roughly 40-50 stocks that were charted each an every day with highs lows against a backdrop of the 52 week highs and lows. All these were merged together to form a High Tech Index that was a keen indicator of performance of the sector. I had close to a Hank Camp success ration in predicting the direction of the sector and certain stocks. This fell by the wayside over the past months and I just haven't been able to start the process again. Too much time was used creating the artifacts and little time was used to buy and sell stocks.
