Joe, that big goodwill (and the changing attitude of the market to that goodwill) was the main reason for taking TYC out of the core last year ant around $50. It turned out to be a lucky move, since I did not think and certainly did not know that Koslovski was a crook. I would stay way for now from TYC, not only because of the negative net book, but because where there is rot on the surface, later on, one finds rot much deeper. Last, you can expect the new management to take any possible write off (as long as it does not impact their ability to roll over "paper") and blame the prior management for that, thus building a cushion for next year's operating results.

Joe....

I also have several short positions in TYC, and still view it as a belly-up candidate. I will not be easy for it to raise new financing on anywhere near favorable terms, but that is what they must do (using a negative and questionable balance sheet) in the very near future.

Good luck on TYC shorts <gg>.
