Initial Thoughts on the Ecopro Materials IPO

<ul>
<li>Ecopro BM's weight has expanded to 22%. Since the probability of receiving a 15% cap is virtually 100%, it will inevitably undergo a weight change of up to nearly 7%p.</li>
<li>If the ongoing rally subsides before March 10th and returns to the January DTV level, the price impact could surge up to 0.3-0.4x daily for three trading days.</li>
<li>This seems to be a sufficient level for a shorting entry point. It may be worth considering an outright short position on Ecopro BM or Long Short with SK Innovation.</li>
