If this price appreciation continues it might be prudent for MKTY to shut down everything and just become a holding company of PLUG power. What would happen then? Maybe MKTY shares would then correlate directly to PLUG's stock price. Bill

UCOMA represented 1.92 shares of UPCOY presplit and now represents .96 shares of UPCOY. Friday UPCOY closed at 107 1/4 with UCOMA at 59 3/4. Assuming 10 bucks underlying in Austar and South American interests, UCOMA's trading a value of UPCOY is 50. discount = 107-50=57 discount percent = 57*100/107 = 53% Straddle that anticipates a event can be profitable....in the absence of an event the discount is what the market deems it to be. I'm a valuation person......I always calculate valuation of things I buy or sell........took a while to recognize that the market has a way of valuing things too.......this is the most important one to understand. Straddle opportunity will develop with MMWW/XPDR....distribution anticipated in 5+months. Good Luck, Mad2
