If Dow manages to find a way out via some overlooked portion of the merger agreement that I and other market participants have missed then fair play for having a valid legal argument, and ROH has its lawyers to blame for missing it. My concern would be the courts give Dow an out based on conditions ROH specifically tried to itself protect against.

My only question here is, why dont you, your law firm, regulators and everybody else complain when abusive and so called "irrational" buying was taking place just months before, during the tech bubble or during any other period of so called irrational exuberance that you might choose.
I by no means believe that there aren’t questionable practices that go on in short selling, long buying, CDS markets etc., but I do believe placing any blame on the current issues at hand on short sellers is either ignorant or an effort to divert your attention from the real problem.
