Yeah it is going to be interesting what happens to this stock over the
next month.  Most of anyone who wanted to get out, got out by now.
The shorts already made their money - I don't even think that they
predicted that this was going to go below a dollar.  It is the
shareholders that got murdered on this one.  I don't think this dead
cat is bouncing (they are mostly generated by shorts - sellers), but
with comments like the above from b.bakalli I don't know. It is going
to be a while before we break out the tambourine on this one.  I am
still in, every week, for a set amount.

I do not see this as a dead cat bounce.  I think it is a bottom.   In
many cases it seems that wall street either overvalues, undervalues -
or just plain ignores a stock.  This stock is just unduely discounted,
wall street beat it up and then left it alone.  It can only go up from
here.

first time writer ever..this is my two cents on this stock.
if you compare there contingent tax liabilities over last year...they
have reduced that by close to 450MM. So that is an improvement and
hopefully if they can resolve the issues with outstanding tax
liability with US tax department, it should give their balance sheet a
lot of respectability...currently it is bad but again better than last
year.
What concerns me the most is their inability to cut costs..they are
significantly behind the curve in terms of cutting costs. Even when
their revenues are falling, management seem to be slow in acting to
trim down these expenses...though granted it is easier said than done.
But I would watch out for cost column.
Last, revenues...need to see some spark here. With increasing use of
internet, I wonder where the advertizing revenues would stabalize for
newspapers. Any comments are welcome on this.

i looked up the some of the current managements names on the internet
- they are not neophytes.  their are some pedigrees here.  they have
track records and potential.  the tax concerns were something that i
didn't really investigate.  it is my experience that the gov't is
willing to cut deals when it comes to getting thier money.  if it is
one thing the gov't has it is time.  they ain't going anywhere.
cutting cost does not bother me either.  that's easy - all it requires
is a ruthless management team.  investing in the company as a
speculative value play is attractive, but i would not want to work
there.  but yeah the revenue thing bothers me.  i beleive in joseph
schumpeter's notion of creative destruction, the process of
transformation that accompanies radical innovation. and i beleive that
print as we know it is going to have to go under radical changes if it
is going to survive.  a good artice on this is Mr. Martin's Misguided
Missile By Ken Doctor, Seeking Alpha

the thing about advertizing on the internet is that it is not as easy
to quantify (charge).  so shifting to the net is like not about
improving the business, it is about survival.  there is going to be
some shrinkage.  i think that some creative minds are going to have to
refocus on the 'business' of communication and not get stuck on the
medium of communication - namely pulp paper print.

but that is not my concern.  SVN is attractive to me because  when the
street hypes something up - they usually over do it, and it is
sometimes the same when they disparage something.  SVN is undervalued
and ignored, the street over did it.  i think that newsprint is headed
for declining returns in the next ten years - and that SVN is getting
an early start in what will prove to be a challenging business
sector.  but i am not it in for the long long haul. ,i don't see SVN
as having a durable competive advantage over its competitors - i just
see it as undervalued.  i am in for  maybe this business cycle, but
that is it.  i doubled my money in the last month.  i didn't expect to
see that so soon.  i was prepared to wait two years.  if this goes up
to 5 or 7 dollars a share, i'll be more than happy.  and i can see it
going there.

I think it is worth noting that a analyst came out on I think the 17th
or 18th of dec. and touted a big bump for the new year.  It is also
worth noting that ceo is working for free.  dec 20 report shows he
agreed to cut 40 percent of his salary in exchange for stocks at
1.00.  How many of you would stay at a company and work for free(i
might add others agreed as well).  I know if my boss asked if I would
take a 40 percent pay cut I would be walking.  UNLESS I new something
about what may happen to the stock price say after January 8th.  Dead
stocks do move but this has moved over 60 percent since the analyst
came out on CNBC on the 17th or 18th.  Go to the link below and read
the consessions management has made.

Finally found the video where George Putnam discusses the selling
pressure on SVN.  He says due to year end results that there is
increased selling pressure and the stock is undervalued and will have
a bounce in Jan.  This bounce has now started because different
holders window dress or take loses depending when their year end
dates.  He beleives the stock will rebound much higher as the new year
comes in to more reflective levels.  Ever since he spoke the stock has
been on a tear.  At the time he spoke stock was 1.14, now trades at
2.31.  This stock is up 103 % since then.  The question is, how tall
is the tree that the cat fell from?

Wow,
This stock almost hit the 200% mark today morning...
This is the most read newspaper in chicago, and a lot of people do not
like the Tribune because they side republicans, while sometimes is
more democratic.

This stock will his $3 mark very soon and keep going up. The entire
marked is down today, they are gaining what the hell...I am lucky i
baught 500 @1.03 and another 500 @1.25

If anyone is thinking in joining this ride, better buy now. and keep
this stock. If this stock falls it doesnt fall much couple of cents.

Because of the low price of the shares, this stock is going to be
exposed to unusual volatility.

stock down to 1.60.  wish these rat fink execs would just take thier
lumps and go to jail.  all this talk of appeals is sending this stock
to the toilet.  you stole money.  stealing is bad.  go to jail.  enjoy
your respite in those minimum security resorts.  the shareholders
don't want to pay for your legal defense.  if you can't do the time,
don't shouldn't have done the crime.  you shouldn't have stole
