Yes sir Captain, let's take 12% then...

45 x0.88 =39.6x1.5=59.4 plus 20= ~80

Which means palm price at 45. = ~25 billion mkt cap for palm...

Do you really think palm's worth that much?
I would say 10B is pretty fair value, and given the hype, let's double it to 20B.

What do you think captain? Any thought on palm mkt cap?

I bot both calls and puts (since I'm bearish, 60% puts and 40% calls) so I really don't care which way COMS move... as long as it moves hard! (and I believe it will!)
I'm betting COMS will move to either 60 or 100 by the end of next week.

Cap'n Jack,

I will have to agree with you on the ARB's. Except for the recent ETEK/JDSU, which I was stupid enough NOT to play! That baby probably started out in the 40% range, but is now more like the normal 10%. Did you get in on the ETEK Arb?

Mike

Arb percentage will increase as the PALM price increases.

There will be a 6 month time value factored into the price of COMS and this will be discounted. COMS holders will essentially be holding 6 month options on PALM.

Palm will reach absurd prices in the first few days/weeks/months of the IPO, but the Arb % on COMS will grow the more absurd the price gets.

Distribution day is going to be crazy.
