So you would recommend holding if it stays below $2 and wait for the option to convert to cash, and sell it at anything over $2? I've never experienced one of these conversions before, how do they work? Does one receive a notice in the mail at some point of the option to convert?

The $20.00 guarantee per share of preferred ($2.00 per existing share of RRRR) is as good as the liquidation pool's ability to pay it if an when it ever came to that. At present MTNT valuation ($1.42) and the 6.5 share conversion, the present value of each RRRR share (not counting the $20.00 guarantee) is $1.42 x 6.5 / 10 = $0.923. This is somewhat underwhelming. Only the prospects of MTNT trading to $3.125 and staying there for 10 days can push RRRR up. Let's hope XMSR runs to $60.00. Edit: Looks like shareholders get screwed: The existing RRRR preferred is retired via compensation of several million shares of XMSR stock. RRRR shareholders (common) get none of this value.
