to say I am pissed off would be putting it mildly. I'll do it anyways: boy, am I pissed. Steve

Unfortunately, unless you have offsetting gains, you can only write off losses at $3,000 a year. I already had a few decades worth of write-offs from previous "bargains." The $4/share of cash unfortunately means nothing; a company can burn through that in a quarter or two. I've seen companies that start throwing in $9/share of losses for a quarter or two, which quickly brings their book value negative. CPU management probably sold and short sold through devious means, effectively transferring your money into their pockets. They'll probably flee to the Bahamas, and be untouchable, a la Bre-X. - Sure is an awful day
