    So Fannie loses a couple billion and the regulators lower their capital requirements. Brilliant! Reply

    You state that BIDZ "Q1 EPS of $0.15 in-line". This is an incorrect statement. The actual was $0.18, which beats Street estimate of $0.14 (27% better than estimate). Reply

    And then came the establishment of the Reasonable Profits Board and it spread throughout the land and nothing on Wall street was ever the same again. The End. Reply

    Msft must get into some serious bussiness with solar energy.It has the resources of more than 30 countries and could use some of that capital to make a real impact on world use of fossil fuels.As far as getting involved in the internet again:They want to pay all those lawyers and money to the europeans for daring undercut the statis be?The socialist(closet commies)will never agree to Msft competing on their markets.Just see how BA has been treated in comparison to Airbus.I think msft is only thinking how they will get a foothold in china.Forgetaboutit!Ch... isn't worth it and if you got any technology that they can steal they will and not give you squat for it.Goodday.

    MSFT should walk away at this point. YHOO declines in value each passing day and is it really worth the grief to try and integrate such differing cultures especially when their is so much animosity at YHOO.

    MSFT would be much better served by walking away and instead making TWX and offer for AOL instead. That would be a win/win. MSFT gets the foothold it is looking for and Time Warner gets to unload a boat anchor that has been dragging on it's performance and valuation.

    Honestly I don't understand why MSFT does not try to partner with a cable company or make a bid for a satellite company like DISH. There might be antitrust issues but, imagine the impact on say an MSFT, AOL, DISH combination on Google.

    Regardless at this point the bid for YHOO is just a used wipe who's time has come to be flushed.........

    What would be my bets on this? I'm thinking May $25 Put's against YHOO and May $32 calls for MSFT.     Reply

    Screening for Potential Buyout Targets [view article]
    I'm with you James, this one shouldn't have passed the debt to equity screen. As an anecdotal story, I used to work for a bank that paid over $100,000 per month for one of the most respected quant models in the industry. After several months, it was discovered that one of the factors in the model (9 month earnings momentum) was completely wrong! That's why I never rely totally on quant models and stocks screens. They're just a starting point, and should be re-tested regularly and followed up with detailed fundamental analysis. Thanks for bringing this to our attention! Reply

    Curious as to how a copany like HLS would pass the debt to equity screen. It has no equity. Reply

    Ralph- This is an art more than a science (I build a screen like this every couple months and I use slightly different factors every time). The goal is to figure out which companies will be the next takeover targets before there is actually any public information. If you want concrete numbers, try market capitalization between $500 million and $8 billion (this seems to be the sweet spot for a lot of buyouts), debt to equity less than 0.5 (in reality the lower the better), and positive cash flow consisting mostly of cash flow from operations (again, the more the better). Once you’ve got your list, try to think like a private equity firm. If you wanted to make a ton of money, which firm would you acquire? If you want more concrete numbers, check out CNBC’s 13 factor takeover target profile: (www.portfoliochallenge...).
