The True Value of CMIH stock
Posted: Nov 25th 2002, 4:01 am
Judging from the lycos board, CMIH is trading at $0.0002 per share. That number is so low it is difficult to visualize. To that end, I have conducted the following analysis to determine the true worth of CMIH stock.
One good way to accomplish this is to compare CMIH stock to some everyday item we all know well. So, I went to netgrocer.com and looked up the price of toilet paper. THey were good enough to list the price as dollars per 100 squeare feet. By eyeballing it, I determined a good average value to work with is $1.25 / 100 SqFt, or $0.0000833 per square inch.
Now, the typical (perforated) square of toilet paper measures approximatly 4.5 in x 4 in, for a total of 18 square inches. This makes the typical square of toilet paper worth $0.0015.
So, by using complex math stuff, I have determined that one square of toilet paper is worth 7.5 shares of CMIH stock. To take it out the other end, one share of CMIH stock is worth 2/14 of a square of toilet paper. The picture below illustates what 2/14th of a square of toilet paper looks like. For reference, the toilet paper is sitting on a 5" CD.

So there you have it, in living color, what one share of CMIH stock is truly worth.
Now, let's consider stock certificates. A typical stock certificate is 8.5 x 11 inches, or 93.5 sqare inches. The equivalent size of toilet paper is worth $0.00779. This equates to approximatly 39 shares. Therefore, a CMIH stock certificate must be worth at least 40 shares to be more valuable than toilet paper.
It is left as an exercise for the reader to determine how much CMIH stock it would take to wipe one's ass.
