<<Actually, current SLB stockholders ( like me ) will be getting shares of RIG, so if SLB loses, then RIG should gain and it will be a wash.>> I could be wrong, but I'm guessing that the CSFB is saying SLB shareholders will be worse off because they are receiving RIG-Sedco shares (at the agreed-upon price). Perhaps the CSFB analyst would say that the existing RIG shareholders could gain from the deal. "CNBS" is just a not-so-subtle swipe at the never ending stream of "BS" from CNBC.
