Victor...my cost basis on PLAT was $10.4/share, so I was losing approx $1/share before the buyout which should give me around $19/share profit !!!! I never even bought PLAT...I bought LGWX a couple years ago at $6/share...then I got my PLAT shares in exchange for my LGWX shares in a conversion ratio when PLAT bought LGWX...I've had it a couple years, so it will be a very nice long-term capital gain now...I seriously considered doubling-up on PLAT last week under $10, which would have been a great move, but I didn't do it. At least I didn't sell my shares at $10 like many did last week in disgust...also plenty of shorts on PLAT, I think...man, that had to be a rude awakening this morning !!!! Talk about a short's nightmare !!!! Appreciate your concern, victor. jajajajajajajaja Jimbo.
