    It could be, but if you go private with a company for less than book, that can be trouble with the law.  Especially with so much more cash than mkt value.  There is $90 million more cash than mkt cap, one could buy the whole company, fire everyone, shut it down and walk away with $90 million profit.

    The company does not seem to care that its stock is worth less than free.  BUT I love buying free companies, it has worked out well for me.

    Motley Fool ran an article on it being free in 2015 and today WTP is much more free: http://www.fool.com.au/2015/10/14/want-to-buy-a-business-for-free-now-you-might-be-able-to/
