Thanks MR. Thesp, couple of thoughts FLAS may not open right away, it usually takes a couple hours to open these volatile IPOs, and this may be the run up period for PWCC. The reason I say this is recently a few other companies in this same situation (NAVR is one)sold off as soon as the IPO opened. I know it shouldn't matter because they own a share of the new company, but that is the way it played out. There was one other stock that did the same thing, but I can't remember it. So I will be watching PWCC closely when FLAS opens.

Hello all. I bought some PWCC today on a whim. Not much research until tonight. Now based on my admittedly rudimentary calcualtions I come up with the following. PWCC has traded around $4-$5 for as far back as I can see. This January they began what seems to be a strategic growth plan fueled by their stakes in FLAS, their brokerage business, HMSK and probably more I havent uncovered yet. This brought their stock up to the $10 level. So lets give PWCC a value of $9 independent of the FLAS IPO. Given their strategic initiatives and already seeming success in an IPO this seems a conservative valuation for the base of PWCC. Now with PWCC (with 3.26 million shares outstanding) owning 1,120,000 shares of FLAS they get $X/share for the following FLAS valuations: FLAS at 20 PWCC ($6.87 + $9)= $15.87 FLAS at 25 PWCC ($8.60 + $9)= $17.60 (where we are about now, so according to these calculations PWCC is priced based on a min $25 price for FLAS) FLAS at 30 PWCC ($10.30 + $9)= $19.30 FLAS at 40 PWCC ($13.75 + $9)= $22.75 FLAS at 50 PWCC ($17.25 + $9)= $26.25 etc...
