I bought JPSP on/around 8/18/04 at $2.65. It went dark shortly after I bought, the symbol changed and often traded with a huge spread over the years.

 Today we finally got good news.
 
 $11.00.
 
 That's about a 13.9% annualized return on investment assuming I get paid by 7/18.
 
 Couldn't find anything on SI about either.
 
 From what I recall, both Steel       Partners and Lloyd Miller were buying back then. I believe it was trading below book value too.
 
 All these years and you wouldn't find me pumping nor dumping it anywhere.
 
 Anyone else been holding all these years ?
