Your post is a good one because it highlights one of those extraordinary phenomenon that we see not only in the market but in many areas of life in general.
You think the dilution of SLR stock is small because of the potential gain to SLR by way of gaining IGR's assets. But you are of course looking at it from an IGR point of view.
