Damn. I scan their index to companies and looked this morning but missed both UPC and UIHIA. Musta been sippin coffee or somthin when I got to U. Aw hell the first two things done gone and went, now I gotta face up to the fact that my mind is going too. Thanks. BTW anyone got a argument for buy and hold on UIHIA (I'm tempted to stick with UIHIA through the ipo if it stays below 70 and sell ahead of the offering at 80+). Any thoughts?

Discount Investment to own 3% of UPC (Note there is a typo in the article, Discount Investment to buy $45 mil shares). It's interesting to note Discount investment dropped on news they aren't getting a 20% portion of the deal Copyright 1999 The Jerusalem Post The Jerusalem Post February 4, 1999, Thursday SECTION: ECONOMICS; Pg. 14 LENGTH: 1445 words HEADLINE: TASE down for 2nd day * Rate uncertainty clouds FTSE BYLINE: Bloomberg HIGHLIGHT: Trading Floors BODY: SHARES TEL AVIV Stocks dropped for a second day, led by Bezeq Ltd., as coalition partners demanded more than NIS 1 billion of extra spending to support the 1999 budget. Until the budget passes, the government will operate each month according to a provisional budget based on last year's spending divided by 12 and adjusted for inflation. The Maof Index of the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange's 25 largest companies yesterday dropped 1.04 percent to 299.79 after losing 0.85 percent on Tuesday. Twenty-one stocks dropped, three rose and one was unchanged. Discount Investment Corp. dropped 1.1 percent to NIS 115.7. The holding company said yesterday it will purchase $ 45 million shares in United Pan-Europe Communications NV, the largest Dutch cable-television company. The holding company has an option to buy up to $ 90 million of shares, or 3 percent of UPC, at a 10 percent discount. Investors were disappointed Discount Investment will own only 3 percent of the cable company after Israeli papers had reported it would hold up to 20 percent, traders said.
