RodgersrodgersYour synopsis of company value may apply in blue chipland but it doesen't apply here or in any other SPECULATIVE investment. I concur with you that you can make money trading this stock, but you can also be caught with your pants down if and when SLI ever hit something big. A lot of people don't seem to realize that the shares of SLI, even though there are a lot out there, are mostly held by a fairly small group so when this goes, they won't be selling and there may not be a lot for sale. As to your company value idea, look at KRY who is sitting on the richest known deposit in the world 12,000,000 ounces, and is trading at 1.70. Go figure. JMHO Muskieman
