Thanks bruiser......well, I'm in from last week Dec. at 1 1/2 average and will give the new CEO a few quarters to see if he can work the turnaround magic he has at three previous cos. They report next around Feb. 14, btw.

I especially like the part of the article that talks about the new CEO, Bermingham. He is a "turnaround specialist" with several successes under his belt. At Rolodex he led a turnaround before selling it to Newell Corp. for $117 million. He also worked for AT&T and Sony.

I really don't think we can go wrong here..stock has been trading flat for quite some time. I entered with a small position and will add as we increase in price. Bermingham has a great track record and I'm sure he'll do well with SCCO.....IMO of course.

OUCH! Tuesday January 18, 3:10 am Eastern Time

Smith Corona sees shortfall, considers options

NEW YORK, Jan 18 (Reuters) - Typewriter company Smith Corona Corp.
(NasdaqSC:SCCO - news) said Monday it expects its second fiscal quarter results to be
below its expectations and that these shortfalls may impair its ability to finance operations.

The Cortland N.Y.-based company said it expects the loss for the quarter to fall between $2 million and $3.5 million, on sales
of about $7.7 million. That compares with a loss of $6.3 million for the same period last year.

Yep...big ouch. Kind of funny how this news comes right after a huge, very positive WSJ article on Friday. As I said, I entered cautiously but will continue to hold.

Smith Corona Update! (Nasdaq: SCCO)

SCCO says new calculator line is now in Office Depot! Good news for next quarter's earnings.

Price right now (.81 x.87) on a float of 2.1 million looks pretty good right now.

ATTENTION ALL !!! Is anyone watching the after market activity on Smith Corona (Nasdaq: SCCO)?

This is one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen in the stock market! Something is going on...takeover? Buyout? I don't know...but something is happening for sure!!!

After hours activity is unbelievable! Price changes up to $4.00/share on a stock that closed at about a dollar.

Anyone with level II should go to the transaction log and look at the trade and price activity after the bell. You won't believe it.
