Stay long Kakaku.com Inc (2371 JP). Don't sell yet. And definitely stay long Digital Garage (4819 JP).
The Yamada Corp (6392 JP)/Edion Corp (2730 JP) combination gives both a platform. What they do with it is the question that the initial announcement left entirely unanswered.
At a multi-year low implied stub; and an all-time low simple ratio (YTL (YTL MK)/YTL Power (YTLP MK)), if you can set up the stub here cleanly, do so.

Digital Garage (4819 JP) is probably too cheap. There is a fair bit of "easy" value there even assuming all the equity affiliate stakes are worth, well, nothing.

China Resources Power (836 HK) (CRP)'s 81.81%-held China Resources New Energy (001248 CH) xlosed up ~137% on debut, and worth ~350% of CRP's market cap. That's not sustainable.

Atlas Arteria (ALX AU) sticks to its guns, urging shareholders to hold their stock, signalling IFM can pay more. But realistically, IFM has declared terms best &amp; final.
