<< the stock will have to rise to roughly reflect the market value of MRVC's OA holdings. How could MRVC have a $740
million market cap if they hold stock in a company that alone is likely to be worth more than that in the market? >>

I wish I had noted the names of the companies in question, but unfortunately I did not. About 3 months ago I ran across an example very similar to our situation with OA. A company trading at around 40 held stock in a recent partial spin-off that was worth over $70/share based on the market price of the spin-off.

Hopefully someone who lurks here will recall?

As I remember it was a case where the other company was not expected to keep its price at current levels.

So is does happen.
