Jurgis, I know they're not your posts you linked, but since they're on the thread and seem authoritative, let me just point out that there is one big factual error. The deal has a collar, in that the number of shares Mattel has to pay is capped. The most they have to pay is 1.2 Mattel shares per TLC share even if Mattel stock goes to 10. So the number is not 165, its about 135 million. In that light, take the rest of that repost for what its worth - the guy is short the stock, and if it were appropriate here I would argue with a lot of his finance assertions. But I just wanted to point out the factual error in case anybody is doing the analysis. I'm sure I'm not the only one on this thread trying to get up to speed on Mattel. Jim
