On another topic, what are your thoughts re the Korea ADR's. I calculate that SKM (SK Telecom) currently sells on the NYSE at a 110% premium to its Korean local price, PKX (Pohang Iron & Steel) at 85% and KEP (Korea Electric Power) at 60%.

I've read that the Government of Korea is currently "committed" to opening their markets to 100% foreign ownership by the end of 1998.

I'm currently short all three and longs in FAK (Fidelity Advisor Korea) and MAKOX (Matthews Korea) funds.

What am I not understanding?

thanks, peter

Alan -

The spread between TTF and TC premiums hit 8% and I'm trying to unwind that position now. This occurred as TTF's NAV shot up with its re-calculation of NAV.

Still working up a fuller response to your last message.
