Q: I know this is speculation, but if Strathcona raised their offer and closes the deal with MEG.

The purchaser tends to go down because they are taking on debt, or diluting, etc while the purchased goes up because of a premium on the purchase price. I'm just wondering if it makes more sense to wait on the news of the deal to finalize.
