Just for the sake of conversation. When the spin-offs occur it is my understanding that MRV would give up approx. 20% of OA for what? x amount of shares sold to a broker for y amount of money. The y amount of money goes into the MRV treasury to be used for R&D, etc. Does the y money increase the EPS? Then if this is so the street interprets this positively and buys some outstanding shares of MRV and MRV stock price goes up. Have I got this right?? The Billions and Billions we keep talking about will not come into MRV ...doesn't it go to those that are privileged enough to participate in the IPO's at the offering price??? So MRV shareholders benefit from selling the few million shares to the broker/eps goes up/MRV gains credibility/MRV sells more products. Really...MRV shareholders really only care if MRV sells more product. Bottom line. MRV has the right products at the right time and we only have to worry if they know how to sell them??? Or will the money they receive from the spin-offs so significant that the eps rises dramatically?? Am I as dumb as I seem? John
