**IMMEDIATE ATTENTION: Stock "Play" of the month?

PCLOP/PLCO"PLCOW - Play Co is a "brick and mortar" toy company that will keep 58% of the shares in a German IPO (Toys International, their spinoff) scheduled to debut next Friday at about $14.00 US.

PLCO is trading just over $1.00 per share, but the really interesting play may be PLCOP preferred shares which can be converted to 6 shares of common.

Very intriguing arbitrage play. The Germans are apparently very excited about the IPO and it is being called the "eBay debut of Europe" or so such thing.

Should heat up next week. It is just getting discovered. Contacts have verified as many facts as possible with legal counsel and it looks good, but needs more DD. It is complex and as always a bit risky.

TRANSLATION: PLCOP $84.00/SHARE!!! (I think)

Here is the math;

(1) $100,000,000 ToysInternational.com IPO ($10M x $10; by early accounts it could be better than that.)

(2) Little PLCO $6 Million dollar company has an IPO worth $14.00/Share ($100 Million divided by 5.5 Million Shares)

(3) PLCO = $14.00/Share x 6 Share Conversion results in a share price for PLCOP of $84.00/Share.

PREDICTION: Its a dirty job making predictions but somebody has got to do it. I'm predicting PLCOP's High Price will be in the
range of $1-$84/Share. :)
