STRATEGY:

So, from a simplistic point of view, is it a reasonable
strategy (if presently long MRVC) to?:

-- short whatever portion of IPO spinoff's you are prepared
to part with (at the time you think they have hit their
peak)

-- do the same thing with MRVC

-- cover the IPO shorts with IPO shares as received and
the MRVC short with present long position

-- do not cover the MRVC short until the required IPO
shares have been received

Can somebody critique this approach and (even better)
suggest something superior?

Is there an even nicer play involving the convertible
debentures?

Best wishes,
Jim
