Well, i lied-- i'm here again--- liked to hear your respose to this from yahoo board. Seems like a good ??
Am I the only person bothered by the "interim securities" that the conversion from pfds to the common will occur??? As far as I've seen in the huge blocks of new common hitting the market, they try to make a slightly different class of shares for the new block (VIA & VIA/B is one example, there are many others). The new shares will be non fungible for the liquidity purposes to protect the investors in the existing class. Please, somebody tell me why wouldn't C create a new class of common for the conversion. I mean the "interim securities" is basically what people will get. Am I the only one seeing this? All those arbs don't seem to be interested in which class is being shorted. Do you people have any idea what will happen if there is a conversion to a different class? All those retarded arbs will still be short C and paying through the nose in borrow costs, and nothing will change. The old common will have the same float, and just as many shorts. Doesn't anyone think that $10 is likely in this scenario?? I mean, really where did C say they will convert to the same class? Why is it so hard to understand? WV will seem mild in comparison when this comes out. Rating :
