In other words, zero leverage. I can't believe we have that little Pacific scope.
So you may be right, Alfa may be right, and Scambo maybe "rightest": the protections we actually do enjoy seem to be firm, right until the point where they come into play. Then they aren't, so much.
If this is as rumored/leaked, it's going to be perceived more like a loss of 15%, than a gain of 85%.
Good points. However, marketing it as a gain of 85% is pretty poor. The argument I've heard is that the company can pull NRT down to zero. That's a poor argument, because it's a money maker for the company.
I'll reserve judgement until I get to see it and cast my vote... er... uh... just see it.
