The cost to attack a PoS coin is nothing because they can sell the PoS coin after the attack is successful but prior to the market having a chance to react to such attack. In theory an attacker could deposit the PoS coin onto an exchange, sell it for BTC, withdraw the BTC then double spend the deposit onto another exchange and repeat

Wow, thanks for opening my eyes - this seems to be the most competent analysis of the topic I've seen so far.
