Company failed miserably many, many times. Kept missing numbers. Disappointed and is falling behind the product cycle. Who knows what the accounting really is. This is versus a backdrop of great, great companies that are growing fast with no debt that haven't screwed up.
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.
