Had formed the base over 2002/2003, made a slight rise and currently are in a little bit of a correction. Thinks there's one more leg left. This last correction was overdone. Look for a support level at around $6.
If you own the stock, you are playing that there is some value in the assets they own. The company is not a going concern. Have a huge deficit hole in their pension plan. Individual parts of the company may be better being sold off.
Has about $4 per share in cash. They are thinking of selling an asset that would raise about another $1 billion, which would add another $2 per share in cash. However, the overall quality of the balance sheet is as bad as he has ever seen it. Speculative.
