        <![CDATA[I would expect a dividend announcement to decrease the price of warrants because the mechanics of paying a regular dividend means the share price will be regularly adjusted down. You do have a good point that the shares would probably rally on such news though. <br/><br/>You can see this same thing happening now. When a new dividend is announced by a company, long term calls on that stock decrease in value. I expect the same thing would happen on the warrants. ]]>

        <![CDATA[Yeah, there are numerous arguments on both the bull and bear side of the stock.  With that said, around current levels the stock presents an interesting risk-reward based on the past few years' price action.  <br/><br/>Due to the abundance of bear arguments, a stop around the 2010 lows makes sense.]]>

        <![CDATA[I obviously disagree. I do think that FCX provides a clear stop which is the 2010 low of just above $28.00 (as others have mentioned on SA). Using that, I'll cut my losses incase you are right. ]]>

        <![CDATA[I think you are referring to a long-running debate on what bucket money dividend come from for MLPs and BDCs (capital raises or earnings).  Because of the amount of time the debate has been running, I don't think I will convince you either way but . . .<br/><br/>I would agree that in 2008 you could say there was simply a return of capital since the book value dropped.  But since then, the book value has stayed relatively constant.  Since the book value stayed constant, there was not a return of capital but paid out earnings.<br/><br/>If you are referring to the capital raise the company did in 2010, I still disagree.  If there was a return of capital, the NAV per share would still drop, which it hasn't.]]>

        <![CDATA[You are right about the math of dividend adjustments though you have to take into account the 10:1 reverse split.  That makes the dividend adjustment threshold for the Series A warrants $0.10 per quarter.<br/><br/>You are right, if you assume a divided of $0.40 per quarter in the next year or two, the strike can get adjusted down pretty considerably.]]>

        <![CDATA[I'm glad you like the analysis!  <br/><br/>I do, however, believe that this is a 'middle of the road' scenario.  Over the next 6 years I'm assuming there will be no recession and I'm assuming that banks can be profitable enough to earn similar valuations they have had in the past in light of new regulations.<br/><br/>You do outline several items which could really benefit the shares if they come to fruition.  If those items do happen, the analysis above would probably be too conservative.  ]]>

I am definitely less excited about the company after this acquisition because there are new industries and commodities to take up management's attention.
