I am reading the article now and
John says there that they earned 600k
on the fourth quarter, but it was due to
a one time profit. He should have mentioned that.

I see now that the ask size is 90 and the
bid size is 5.
Haven't seen such a thing till now.
Someone is not interested that the stock will
go up.

The several last days i saw a lot
of buys. Today there are several sells.

I read all the interview with John and i liked
what i saw. The only problem is that it might take some
time till this stock is discovered and i am asking myself
if it wouldn't be better to play with that money
for a while.

Hi Katie.....I agree!! In 20 yrs. of market trading, I've never seen a Co. with better potential earnings leverage than SCCO. It won't stay ignored forever.

Sure...basically, the meat of the article touches on the fact that the 'ole typewriter isn't dead. The market is not shrinking but staying flat. It mentions a lot about the need for a typewriter (typing labels, business forms, etc.). Also mentions that most offices still have a typewriter (or 2, 3 4 of them) in it and still be utilized.

They talk about the agreement with Office Depot:
"Office Depot has introduced a line of display calculators under the Smith Corona name...and other products are in the pipeline. Mr. Bermingham says the agreement shows that the Smith Corona name retains marketing allure".

Also mentioned is the trouble Smith Corona had around 1995 with their Ch. 11 protection but have rebounded. It notes that SCCO's losses shrank to $315,000 for fiscal first quarter ending Sept 30 versus a loss of $5.7 million for same period a year earlier.

This is more than likely what brought the heavier volume and nice spike today...what we need is news, news, and more news!!!
