Experience I retired in 1996 at the old age of 39 by using city based utilities and leap call options. on stocks like ibm and wal mart because you can control these stocks for 2 years for ten cents on the dollar.
As of 1998 I got married and went to work driving Big Rig in 2004 so I could provide my 2 daughters,who are 4 and 8 as of 2007, with QUALITY AFFORDABLE health insurance. THIS job still allows me to trade but will cause you a slightly longer wait for any answer.. I apologize for This but my families welfare comes first..

There’s a question that’s been bugging me about stocks trading at less than book value… I can understand why a stock might trade below book value based on supply/demand… company has debt, future earnings are very negative, etc. so the supply is enough and the demand is small enough at the book level price that the price falls below book value.
However, I do have one important question that I cannot seem to find an answer and don’t understand: if there are a lot of stocks trading at less than book value (and there are plenty (even ones trading at less than a tenth of book value), then why doesn’t an arbitrageur come in and takeover buy buying enough shares at less than book value and then liquidate the companies assets for a profit? Are there some laws that I’m not aware of that prevent people from doing this?
I don’t know much about this type of acquisition but I am thinking this would be done primarily through a hostile takeover (what other ways might this be achieved?). So, is the answer that a hostile takeover can’t always easily be achieved efficiently and within a reasonable amount of time? – i.e. average volume traded is so small that it would take a long time to accumulate whatever the requisite percent of outstanding shares to be owner (51%?).
Also, I hope you can answer a second (less important) question that I have along somewhat similar lines: sometimes I’m hanging around stock market forums and some of these shorter term traders seem to be able to be quite good at looking at an earnings release, conference call, maybe news about a new contract for a company, and then be able to use that information to surprisingly accurately predict a short term price movement to a certain price target. i.e.: a company gets a new contract that will net them 50 million a year in additional profit. If there are 50 million shares outstanding then the increase in forward EPS is $1 per share. How then, can that information be appropriately used to judge how much the stock will jump based on this news? There seems to be some opportunity here because on a news announcement, while some traders are trading momentum, or guessing what the stock price will do, it seems possible to be able to understand what this news means for EPS or another important fundamental/financial factor and turn that into a short term price objective.
Are there any good books that delve into this subject?
Thank you so much for your time!
Best,
Alan
Answer the main reason that the stocks are not bought, Is that the so called book value is a stated value not a real value.
please realize that I DO NOT TRADE ON SPECULATION.
I have researched the stocks I trade for over 10 years.
I have noted trends in movement that are consistant and reoccuring
