Sold MCG Capital Rights (MCGCR), and Added Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (CY)

The MCG Capital Rights (MCGCR), which was available to trade in our brokerage account (TD Waterhouse) as of yesterday, was sold immediately as we do not expect to exercise the option to buy the shares. These rights were expected to be available for trading on March 26, 2008 but it did not get transferred to our account until yesterday. We also initiated a position in Cypress Semiconductor Corporation (CY). As mentioned in our analysis, these shares are trading at a discount when considering its ownership of SunPower (SPWR).
