I purchased a decent amount of WIN stock a few months back. I don't know how I missed this but they are in the middle of merging with EarthLink. From the things I have read, Windstream will own 51% and EarthLink will own the other 49%. EarthLink members are getting .8 shares of WIN stock for every share of EarthLink they own.

What do you guys think on this. Dividends will sustain at .60 per share. Thoughts on holding long term vs. short?
