Jim,et.al.: Ah hah and ah so. Let's grab a Jenny Cream Ale and talk. Because of GENBB, I now know why I'm so reluctant to invest in CSE, NH, and those other ag. stocks. In my mind -- these stocks are perpetually undervalued. Genessee Beer--- it's like a rite of passage for value investors. That's my zen enlightment, struck-by-lightning thought. A person just cannot call himself/herself a value investor unless he or she at some point comes across and considers investing in GENBB. That stock has been in the undervalued class for 25 years at least. A person cannot not know about it and call himself/herself a dedicated a value investor -gg--.

But of course, that's just the one side of it. At some points in those past decades -- it did go up. So people did make money by buying low. Same with ag. stocks. But I don't know of any enthusiastic and happy campers with that beer stock, or anybody who made good money in ag stocks either. Still, maybe they'll all work out okay. I just think they entrap more value investors than they benefit. That would be my opinion. Paul

GENBB - Patronize me for just a moment. It looks to me as if they spent 1/3 of their cash to buy a food company. In which case, relying on the cash on hand to provide a safety net could be problematic. IMHO there doesn't appear to be a free lunch, or even a real good puff left.

Where have I gone wrong?
