Tom; I haven't done much more on MKTY since my post to Infostream on 10/2, as after my review I found I couldn't get a borrow on Datek and didn't want to go to my higher priced broker at the time (although it would have been quite profitable). Anyway I view MKTY as a well engineered recapitalization in the form of the the spin of PLUG. At the time I assigned a value of 20 mil to MKTY's remaining business (ex PLUG), given the bulk of MKTY's value lies in PLUG I didn't really look to deeply into the remaining Test and Measurement business (loosing money and no apparent growth prospects). In a nutshell PLUG is simply a way of distancing the business from MKTY's prior history. The IPO route (as compared to a secondary) seems to be a cleaner way of accomplishing this and allows them to position PLUG as a pure play. techstocks.com Best Regards, Mad2
