Neil, Interesting.... BORL is now trading at no premium over the VSGN conversion ratio. Looks like we're headed for 6. I remember someone on this thread saying they'd pay nothing for puts at 10! <g> Folks are too scared of BORL's earnings. On top of that, we have to deal with VSGN's earnings. Uncertainty creats fear. Chaos brings opportunity! Market is always right. regards, BPP

There's no premium on BORL because it's a virtual certainty that the deal will go through now and that's being reflected in both stocks. So as it turns out, the VSGN people get little or nothing and BORL gets pounded after being royaly hammered and beat to the ground. As yet, we have not been kicked and spit upon but, as you point out, that can't be ruled out. Having said that, I've been given a second chance to cash in on BORL and if anything I will be buying a bunch more. Course'n anyone who bought in the $7s ought nought complain.
