Tom, if you're interested in arbitrage, there's an article on the DaimlerChrysler merger in today's WSJ. The article is right that the exchange formula is a complete bitch to work with. (Daimler is distributing 20DM/share in a special dividend for tax reasons and then raising an equivalent amount) On the other hand, the article exaggerates the difficulty in arbing it. My calculations yield ~12% gain in a few months.

Despite all this, I have an unhedged position in C, on the notion that while Daimler or the DM may fall, there is an equal chance they may rise.
