SCO News Roundup

• So today was the 30th consecutive day of SCO's stock closing under $1, so Darl & Co. ought to be getting that delisting nastygram in the near future, if they haven't gotten it already. The actual criterion is the closing bid price, not the closing price, but I don't know of any site that offers historical closing bid prices, at least not for free. Keeping the closing bid over a dollar is a bit harder, and some people have speculated that it's been even longer since that number's been over $1. It appears that the deficiency notice is sent within a day or two of the 30-day deadline, and then the company's got four days to make an announcement about it, or else. So if I'm doing the math right, and I might not be, we might see something as soon as Friday, or as late as next Thursday, assuming that SCO waits to the very last moment before filing.
  
  The title of this post honors this latest milestone, regardless of when it happened, or might happen in the future if it hasn't already. If you've seen RoboCop, you ought to get the reference. If you haven't seen RoboCop, well, I'm sure Netflix has it, so what's your excuse?
  
  
• Luckily for SCO, their annual shareholder meeting is tomorrow, so they don't need to breathe a word about any delisting notice while their remaining bagholders are still in town. Pretty convenient, huh?
