BUY
The only question is, will the takeover take place. If the deal goes through, this is a no-brainer. You gain 10% on the stock plus a dividend. On the other hand, if the funding falls apart, then the stock probably goes down to $32.
BUY
Would be very surprised to see the deal renegotiated. The big risk is a regulatory one.
SELL
The market seems worried about this one and when it worries, he worries. His attitude is, reduce. Take some profits.
BUY
Doesn't feel the deal is likely to fall apart and will probably be completed in the 1st half of this year. Teachers have said that they will stand behind it.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Dec 15/06. Up 30.7%.) Now starting to get a little nervous.
BUY
Will be taken over at $42.50 whenever the deal closes plus you get a dividend.
COMMENT
Arbitrages play based on it being taken out at $42.75. Two risks. 1) Bondholders have been hard done by and are in the courts now trying to redeem their bonds. 2) Have to go through regulatory authorities. Chances are, it will go through and return would be about 8%-9%, which annualized would be about 30%.
TOP PICK
Very high probability that the deal wit the Ontario Teachers Pension gets done in February. Risk/reward for getting the $42.75 by the end of April is very good and gives a 9% to 10% return.
BUY
Thinks the deal with Ontario Teachers Pension will go through. If this is true, you are looking at a 12% pickup plus one dividend in a fairly short period of time.
DON'T BUY
There is a potential that the deal with the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan may not go. He would prefer the money rather than taking a risk.
BUY
To be taken over by the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan. He is treating this as a short-term investment and has made the assumption that the deal is going to go ahead. Not totally risk free.
BUY
There is some concern that if the credit crisis where to worsen, it might be difficult for the Ontario teachers pension to finance the purchase. This is why the price is less than the takeover price of $42.75. He feels that ultimately this deal is going to get financed.
COMMENT
The stock is not trading on the company's fundamentals, but on the cash takeover. Not trading at the takeover price as there is a time value on money and no one is certain when that date will be. Still some regulatory approvals needed.
BUY
This will give you about 10% yield in 3 or 4 months. You will also get one dividend, possibly two. The only risk is if for some reason they purchase falls apart. The odds of that happening are not very high.
TOP PICK
Being acquired in the late 1st quarter or the early 2nd quarter by the Ontario Teachers Pension plan at $42.75. There will be 2 dividends paid during that period. The yield over all will be about 9%.
