Stocks traded below cash

In November 0f 2008, there were over 300 stocks that traded below cash. Today this number is significantly lower. If a stock has a current Price/Cash ratio of under one, it means that the value of its high liquid assets is higher than its current market cap.

Some say that tha market is a discounting mechanism that tries to look 6 months ahead and therefore companies that are traded below cash are at that level for a reason. While this is a valid opinion and I respect the actions of the market, I can’t help but look for underappreciated stocks with potential for future price growth:

I scanned for stocks with P/C < 1 and EPS > 0
