The time to learn about their troubles was much earlier:

....and, yes, the knowledge came through diligent fundamental investigation by a number of good blogs that I follow. Mish was one of them.
It is not the doing that is difficult, but the knowing


It's the illiquidity, stupid !

Here is the news.. BSC is sacking one of their top guys.. Big change in management. Sometimes stocks react very favorably to the news of top management changes....

Ultimately I think BSC will be bought out. Probably in not too distant future.

I don't think the stock is very expensive. The biggest fear is they are losing a lot of business now. And of course all this negative publicity now. Otherwise it doesn't look particulary expensive, though I didn't look at their financials. At first glance it looks like its trading at 1.3 times book, and has more cash then debt, but as I said, I didn't dig.

So ... are you buying BSC here, Greenie ? :D

Im long LEH 65 calls because I think $XBD will bounce here, but there's no way I'd buy Da Bear.

BSC = next stop 70's.

I have a question: Can diligent fundamental investigation be bullish? Or is it bearish only? Denleo

Ask your hedge fund buddies. That's how they do it - bearish or bullish they don't care. It's all he said... that she said... that so and so vendor/customer/supplier said... stuff anyway, most of it. TA is considered hogwash.

My read? I wouldn't touch BSC with a ten foot pole. If there's anything off color, this one could evaporate. I'm not saying it will or even that I think such is reasonably likely. Jut too darned likely for my taste. There's other, cheaper, safer things to buy. M
