Deep Value: cash covers about 96% of the stock price

This company holds roughly $149M in cash and investments — about 96% of its entire stock-market value, based on its latest quarterly filing. You're paying very little for the actual business. Sometimes that's a genuine bargain or a takeover target, sometimes it's cheap for a reason. Not a buy signal on its own — always ask why it's this cheap.
