Despite Recent Market "Run-up", Still plenty of Net/Nets

Markets have recently bounced nicely off their March lows, a situation which might typically create a "rising tide lifts all boats" effect. But while the Russell Microcap Index is up more than 30% from March 9th, there are still plenty of net/nets.

A recent, un-scrubbed screen revealed 325 companies with market caps greater than $5million trading below their net current asset value. While that's more than 100 fewer than the 433 we revealed in our March 2nd post, there's still plenty of opportunity in the land of the lost.

Here are the top 5 Net/Nets by market cap:

P/E: NA
Market Cap: $2.08 billion

Rest In Peace, James G Boswell II

James G. Boswell II, a major focus of the great book on the JG Boswell farming empire entitled "The King of California: J.G. Boswell and the Making of a Secret American Empire" passed away last Friday at age 86. Here's the obituary from the LA Times (thanks to Cheap Stocks reader Scott Hall for this link).

Boswell presided over JG Boswell, Co (Ticker:BWEL), one of the most interesting quasi-publicly traded companies that most investors have never heard of, as chairman, president and CEO from 1952 until 1984. He was still serving on the board of directors at the time of his death.

For more on the company, see our most recent BWEL post.
