Zeev,

My understanding FWIW is that it is a "floored" deal that has a minimum price at which conversion can occur and that this price is above the present market value by a bit. It is better then no floor which has created the misery we still endure with the HUNTS.

The hope is that getting Chag will bring the CSFB crowd out of the closet. I am encouraged given that the conventional wisdom was that the Hunts believed that they would never be paid back by GF. GF actually is paying them back instead of allowing conversion. This is a FWIW but I believe that the Hunts were hitting the stk friday as a message to CSFB that they are still in control of the share price. They are not short three million and probably feel that CSFB will not deliver the money before GF has to register more shares.

My only solace is that I believe that GF and DF are not making these decisions and that CSFB is finally calling the shots.
