I read this article today at istockanalyst.com which includes this passage. Does this guy know what he's talking about?

***

BP Prudhoe Bay Royalty Trust (NYSE: BPTStock Charts and Research Links: 79.88, -0.01), for example, has the right to a 16% royalty on the output of the BP PLC (NYSE ADR: BPStock Charts and Research Links: 55.01, 0.25) oil holdings in Prudhoe Bay, AK, which have 55 million barrels of proven reserves. Do the arithmetic, and you'll find that at a price of $75 per barrel, BPT has an undiscounted value of $660 million. However, its market capitalization is currently $1.7 billion. There's probably some upside potential I've missed somewhere, perhaps from secondary extraction or from some possible new discoveries in the holdings, but I doubt if there's $1 billion worth.
