y2k investors - Last time I discussed the "cash/share" approach of investing in the y2k companies for prospects beyond year 2000. Long term holding of shares at an average cost nearly equal to the cash/share (balance sheet). An example of the benefit is the share buyback (by the company.) CRYSF announced today to spend $5Million of their cash to buy their shares back. A company buying their own shares supports the underlying value and helps investors in the long run: fewer shares outstanding, earnings/share goes up, stock price catches up, long term capital gain. Hope other cash-rich companies (COGIF, IMRS, CMND, SPNSF) follow the lead. Purchase by CBSL's CEO is not enough. biz.yahoo.com
