Thanks Rudy for the interesting insight. As you indicated, at $2/share CNSI's stock is selling at cash value. So, $2 buys you $2 in cash and a technology of unknown, but not zero, value. But, in April you will receive $1 cash and the stock price will likely decline to $1/share. The $1 is a taxable dividend. So, you get less than $1 for your $1. Looks like a bad deal from here.

However, after the April dividend, you can pay $1 for $1 in cash and the same technology that you had to pay $2 to access now. The purchase price is still entirely offset by the cash. Your gain is entirely dictated by the value of the technology. But, you can get it at half the cost. Correct me if I'm wrong, but, I think that I'll wait.

I'd appreciate hearing comments regarding what the worth of the technology is.
