GOV. That's sort of how I view it.

If you are an aggressive entity like a hedge fund or brokerage (Goldman Sachs like?) which participates in these things, and you have agreed to take shares at $21.50 and you know how many shares you will be allocated, you can short the beejeebers out of the stock until it goes down to $21.50, wait, and then cover with the $21.50 shares you will get. This would seem to be a safe way for a high annualized return on investment $ for the participating entities.
