 <title>efficent market at its best?</title>
 <link>http://www.valueinvestingnews.com/controlled-greed-portfolio-picks-average-4-6-in-q1-of-2007#comment-508</link>
 <description>&lt;p&gt;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&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Today, MWA goes fot 13.56 and MWA/B goes for 13.25.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Both have identical rights EXCEPT that MWA/b has 8 votes to 1 for MWA.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By all rights, MWA/B is the superior stock of the two.  It has 8 times the voting power with more liquidity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since both shares have been trading, MWA trades more shares, and is priced higher than MWA/B.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So far the efficent market is losing.&lt;/p&gt;
