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.
