Interesting

The screen I run as follows

PE < 15x
DE < 20%
ROE > 20%
PSR < 1.2X
Market Cap > 50mm

Usually finds sick stocks that look cheap on trailing
numbers..because an event just occurred..missed their
quarter..etc. but..sometimes the reason is a one time
event and you get a chance to swing the bat as Mr. B.
would say. Do you trade a .380 batter for a new guy
at .350 ??

That was a reference to some earlier comments about
optimal portfolio size..concertration of positions
etc.

I plan to call CECX to dig some more..
really looks like management wants to take it private.

Mike,

Now I know why I have stayed away from techs - Tower reports they will show a loss around .13. So much for my analysis. It's outta here. Chalk up a $500 lesson.
