Yes,
I had a buy order in yesterday at 15/16 that just sat there and expired right at 4pm, but then the B/A shot well over $1 right at 4pm, and the number of orders on the island on both sides instantly tripled. I was a bit P.O'ed that I did not get a fill during normal hours even though my limit order sat right in between the B/A for over 20 minutes.
I own a lot of SCCO, so I am hoping that North is the direction it is going finally.
I am curious as to how this aftermarket can occur like it did. Is there a system that accumulates only "after-hour tradeable orders" that kicks in at 4pm regardless to the activity during the day ? First time I have noticed this. |

Smith Corona (Nasdaq: SCCO) products just hit Office Depot shelves! I just bought one of Smith Corona's new calculators at Office Depot.
SCCO 7-year deal with Office Depot now kicks in.
SCCO looks like a great buy at $1.06 - only 2.1 million shares in the float. SCCO just signed Big Six firm Deloitte and Touche LLP to help their profitability. |

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.

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. |

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.
