I remember my father's weekend jam packed with people visiting him to look at cars his clients were selling. By the end of the 80s the business had died down dramatically and in the 90s he couldn't get rid of good cars. Todd, you might be on to something here. Maybe with inflation or stagflation on the horizon (if its not already here), the used car business might be on the rise.</p> Tue, 18 Mar 2008 23:30:31 -0400 George comment 1546 at http://www.valueinvestingnews.com http://www.valueinvestingnews.com/controlled-greed-portfolio-picks-average-4-6-in-q1-of-2007#comment-508 <p>Last Dec WLT spun off about 86 mill shares of MWA class B stock. Last May WLT craved out 25 mill shares of MWA in an IPO at 16.00</p> <p>Today, MWA goes fot 13.56 and MWA/B goes for 13.25.</p> <p>Both have identical rights EXCEPT that MWA/b has 8 votes to 1 for MWA.</p> <p>By all rights, MWA/B is the superior stock of the two. It has 8 times the voting power with more liquidity.</p> <p>Since both shares have been trading, MWA trades more shares, and is priced higher than MWA/B.</p> <p>I know there still might be post spin selling in MWA/B. But this does not explain why anybody would buy MWA over MWA/B. But that has been the case so far.</p> <p>So far the efficent market is losing.</p> Mon, 02 Apr 2007 19:12:50 -0400 bingopitts comment 508 at http://www.valueinvestingnews.com
