In December 1999 the share price was $US100 plus, in March/April 2000 period it was around $US55 to $US60. On 19th December 2000 the price was $US 0.19, that is 19 cents before Enron went into liquidation. Using the Reported Annual results for the year ended 31st December 1999 and assuming no changes into the future, I have calculated the underlying intrinsic share price as $US4.54.

A rapid decline in share price can lead to a lack of confidence in the stock and further add to the decline in price.
