CROX Near Working Capital

Dear Diary,

I just picked up more Crocs, Inc. (CROX) at $8.15 per share. My read of Mr. Buffett in "The Money Masters," indicates that he thinks the greatest business in the world should be able to be purchased at or below their Working Capital in a recession/ bear market. Crox holds about $5.06 of Working Capital per share, according to my read of "Value Line."

Tempur-Pedic International (TPX) is trading at a p/e ratio of 7, so I have their annual report on the way to me for next week's reading. They indicate $210 million in Working Capital with outstanding shares of $74 million for 2008.

My CPA informs me that the endowment has been approved by the State of Texas.
