I agree. For instance, its .3384 yhoo shares for each ctcy share.

yhoo @ 367.75 * .3384 yields 124.66. The premium lies in GCTY @ 117.25.
Therefore its "riskless" to long gcty and short yhoo(in equal $$$ amounts). The only problem I can foresee, and that stops me from going headlong into this is:
0>Possibility of a cancellation of the deal(unforeseen circumstances)
1>YHOO renegotiates a deal with GCTY.

Were you an arbritrageur today?
