Oops, losing my confidence in some of these arb. plays.

Reducing positions in NVX (taking losses), USW (gains), MMI (gains). NVX is too dependent on British gov't approval of a vaccine. (I should have sold earlier when this was mentioned here to me - but the fear didn't get to me until recently);
USW I can't figure, I know I can't figure it, and maybe nobody else can either - 10 point swings in the stock in recent days -- too much happening for me for it being an arbitrage play. I've reduced the position, taken profits and am stepping aside for a while. Lot of gov't approval still required I believe - I'll have another chance to buy more maybe if things settle down;
MMI shareholder vote soon, but not all gov't approvals are complete. My position is too big for my britches. Reducing the position.
