TLB - If you use Graham arbitrage calculator and assume 50/50 chance and a drop to $1 on failure to accept the deal, the expected return is negative. So either the chance has to be higher or the expected drop should be less for it to be a buy. If you keep 50/50 chance, expected drop has to be no worse than to $2 for a good return... I guess I don't like these numbers, so I'll skip. :)
