What I find intriguing is that the current market cap of FIBR is only around 110 million, yet if the IPO goes through at $10 the market cap of the spin off (NSIL) will be 130 million. Either FIBR is worth nothing or it is undervalued.

I'm sure more than a few people think FIBR is a bagel. Keep in mind that FIBR will own 3.3 million NSIL after the offering. Divide that by FIBR's 9 million outstanding, multiply by your $10 and toss in a 40% discount and you get $2.2 in NSIL "value" in each FIBR share. This is not a compelling backdoor play.

Looks like FIBR should be shorted, with impunity, heading into the NSIL offering (if it ever actually happens.)

<edit> Well, knock me over with a feather. I checked your profile and see you're active on the FIBR thread. Go peddle your "analysis" somewhere else.
