RE: Rob McEwen`s value?The dilution to add LEX is not as bad as you are saying. LEX holds 1.5 shares of VG for every one of its shares plus a buch of cash and some speculative properties. Ask yourself this. Where do you think the stock will go if the merger doesn't go through? Also, VG has to be low on funds by now, so they are primed to dilute anyway. So if this deal doesn't go through, VG will drop at least 30% plus it will dilute it shareholders to raise cash at the lower price.
