Jim, Does PLCO stay about the same (in which case PLCOP
is a real buy now) or does PLCO sink to 1/6 of PLCOP?


I wish I had a sense for this one. . .Logically, it seems that most will not convert immediately. . .but so many are playing the conversion, that they may sell off PLCOP prematurely. . . this is one reason it never seems to reach full maturity.

PLCO=1 & PLCOP=1. . .then PLCO=1.5 & PLCOP=2.2. . then PLCO=2 & PLCOP=3.5 . . .then PLCO=3 & PLCO=6.25. . . .and this is the best argument for why it is a better play to hold until conversion, rather than dump. . .especially if you feel the company will be around for a while. [they've already been around over 10 years]

The only thing that is going to get PLCOP up to where it should be, is a sudden interest by a person or persons just prior to conversion. . .bidding up the preferred. . . however, that would not be a good play, due to those of us that have been here a while having such an advantage.

Whenever you buy the bottom, the selling advantage is yours.
