If you buy the barn the day after the cows are given away, you don't get the cows!! Can't believe this.. What if you sell 5% of the COWS on a certain date, and promise (maybe) to distribute 95% of the COWS but only if the DAIRY gives you equitable tax treatment and the grass is green on distribution day. Then you go on TV and mumble about it. Add in a dose of "misinformation" mongers trying to make a buck on quick and up and down trades and a whole bunch of near novice day traders and ZOOM, believe it. The more I watch today's action, the more I believe that the near certainty that COMS will distribute 1.5 PALM per COMS share in 6 months is being overlooked or misunderstood. Very long COMS with a $23 basis and bought more today at 87 3/8 with the discount to PALM just being too tempting to resist.
