Selecting 2009 Merger Arbitrages Carefully

screw DISK, those guys have been trying to make a transaction happen for the last 2 yrs, it looks pretty but the way their handling it is anything but.

I'd rather take the PBKS arbitrage position and boost it using options. I think the market is expecting a higher bid I guess, but there's clear disconnect between the stock market and the options market!

With MTB already scheduling plans, it looks like a done deal - 8%+ return in 2 months is nothing to complain about-

A Comparison of M&A Activity During Bull and Bear markets

PBKS is pretty much a done deal, a nice way to earn 6%+ in 2 months

you can bump that up to about 9% yield in 2 months if you employ the right strategy!
