Top 10 Net/Nets by Market Cap

Admittedly, it's still a bit boring these days in the land of companies trading below their net current asset value. Dr. Bernanke did not help yesterday when he and his band of merry men lowered the Fed Fund Rate (and discount rate) 50bps. (Cheap Stocks, for one, was surprised it was 50bps)

Still, the markets move forward, basking in the glow of the rate cut, and the list of net/nets grows stale. Chock full of "acquisition" companies that have no real businesses, or companies that have sold off good businesses, and have no real plans for the proceeds(we mean you, Zapata)and the primary assets are cash, there's not a lot to get excited about. Just two of the companies are currently profitable--that is, they have trailing 12 month positive net income-- Audiovoxx, (a perennial net/net it seems) and Tandy Brands Accessories.
