I think it's a positive, either way...
Either we get shares in Niostar, with or without a listing on another exchange, before or after they've done an IPO ... or SRSR continues to hold our Niostar shares for us, with or without a listing on another exchange, before or after an IPO, exactly as they do now... right up until they choose to follow through with a distribution.
The timing of things and the sequences in events haven't been defined... and that is an interesting source of potential advantage, IMO.
There are a couple of "wrinkles" in the differences that might result, which include some interesting potentials that might result only from the possible variations in timing and sequencing in events...
I'm not the least bit uncomfortable having our Niostar interest being held in SRSR, right now, particularly with its affairs and market interactions being managed by Scott and Dhalman Rose... so I don't see there is any reason I'd think was rational to worry about things as they get closer to implementing changes ?
Maybe there will be a "one and done" distribution at some point... or maybe they'll meter Niostar shares out over time ?
Its possible they'll come up with a method that might create arbitrage opportunities between SRSR and Niostar ? Or, its possible they intend to ensure that is absolutely impossible ?
It's pretty hard to come up with a plan for optimizing trading your position, when you don't know anything about what the changes coming are going to be looking like...
Advantage, holders...
I think there are some people who are already angling to try to game the trade. My "feel" for it, and that is all it is, is that patience is probably the better strategy...
