ALMI news "ALPHA MICROSYSTEMS hired a second investment banker to help maximize the value of the company's "AlphaConnect" technology. Salomon Smith Barney, which came onboard in January, will continue to look for an outright buyer. The new (unidentified) firm will focus on creating a spinoff, probably majority-owned by ALPHA. The remainder of the spinoff's funding, if that alternative is pursued, is likely to be provided by a private equity placement. The addition of a second banker should give Salomon Smith Barney greater leverage in its pursuit of an outright sale. Inadequate offers reasonably can be refused now, in light of the tangible alternative provided by the spinoff option. The extra negotiating leverage should enable ALPHA to extract the highest possible price for "AlphaConnect" in a direct sale. That approach still offers the greatest long-term return to shareholders. A spinoff would involve a far longer payback cycle. Risk also would be a substantial factor. We continue to value a direct selloff of "AlphaConnect" in the $6.00-$9.00 a share range. We also estimate the company's remaining service business to currently be worth about $3.00 a share. Spirited bidding for the technology could lead to a higher price. A final resolution should be reached within the next two months."

Hi John, Can you explain as why xcit doesn't reflect on ATHM's price today. XCIT=113*1.04=117 of ATHM. So it is a kind'na discount to buy XCIT right now instead of ATHM=124. I don't get it. Thanks in advance.

John, I wonder why you didn't consider eBay. Maybe you thought it's too overvalued? Yesterday the registered item on sale in eBay site is 1.8 million. Today it increased to 1.9 million. This is how fast the company is growing. Probably a lot of people will never buy eBay in the belief that it's overvalued. But then they probably missed the biggest opportunity in life. Prove I am wrong please. Pay attention to the small window on the upper right corner of ebay' site. It shows the current registered item on auction.
