You caught me. Yeah, I was making room
for MWY. 15 5/8 was my support. But
I'm not too worried. It was a long-term stock
I bought originally when I could find little
value in the market. In one account, I'm
still in it. I've got more ideas now,
and they bump BMC down in my
shorter-term account (the one with MWY). But that just makes it easier to wait.

Rididiculous for me would be if it trades
at book value, since its book value is
generally good, keeping in mind the
debt. Moreover, if I do end up getting
a decent response about the Orcolite
deal, I'll probably get back in (I'd post
the info here).

Keep in mind that management has
managed this company well for a good
long time. We're just caught in a
bad combo of Asian flu and product
transition, along with capital expansion.
None of this hurts the long-term
prospects, and may actually benefit it.

Mike

Rechecked book value, it's closer to $6 than the $11.88 I
asked about in the message this replies to; apologies.
(I grabbed it from the May 15th, 1998 10Q, and I must have accidentally used "Total Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity"
instead of "Stockholders' Equity" for the computation).

$11 is about 1X sales, though.
