I'm hopeful too. I think the recent troubles will be rectified by some good steady Office Depot business worldwide, and some creative suggestions by Deloitte and Touche. I give JB credit for swallowing a little crow and bringing in some creative help. That's what a good leader would do, he did it, and he told the public too ... rather amazing I think. Excellent prices in here I agree. Good luck with it.

Sorry, but I have been unable to find out anything substantive relating to this recent price increase. The only reasonable assumption I can come up with is that there is a buyout coming and people are positioning themselves for the announcement. This is only my opinion however. Dexx

From CNBC Now, the funeral: Smith Corona, which has been struggling in recent years to find a place in the New Economy, will sell its remaining assets to Carolina Wholesale Office Machine Co. for $6 million. Smith Corona created the first commercial portable in 1906. Teddy Roosevelt took a Smith Corona on his African safari in 1910. To make matters worse, Russian officials warned today that they may halt exports of black caviar due to a poor sturgeon catch - which means that Smith Corona execs can console themselves with the thought that their company may go the way of caviar.

It's a sad day when a 114-year-old company closes its doors.

I don't know. The press release didn't say anything about it that I could see. I think the shareholders will probably wind up holding shares in a shell company. My SCCO losses were substantial. The only hope is that SCCO comes out a clean shell and someone takes it over. Dexx

Dexx, Sorry for your loss, I did not commit much to SCCO, I hope you are right about the damage control! Regards, Mike
