In summary of what I know: They were once felt to have a great PGM deposit. This turned out to be perhaps not as great as previously thought and unfortunately was mostly Palladium and not so much Platinum.
Combine this with apparently one of the worst managements in history and you have:

finance.yahoo.com

All in all an excellent example of why not to buy a company on the way down. I vaguely thought about it a few times but luckily always held off.

Or as Mr. ZetaZeta more succinctly said:

<this company sucks>

And I forgot to mention that really bizarre deal they made with the Russians. However one positive is that Jay Chen is apparently thinking of buying it.

Merrill Lynch has a history of downgrading the palladium price, claiming that supplies are adequate, when they can really be quite unstable. It's official predictions missed the great PD price rise, completely.

I read the news release re: credit problems. Didn't sound good. BK is a definite possibility with SWC. More likely is a buy out or take over from NEM, ABX, etc.

Management really screwed SWC up, IMO.

I like buyouts -- that's where they pay a lot more than the going price, right?? <g>
