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%.
BUY
Thinks the deal is safe and will be completed. There are some worries about the financing and that is why it doesn't trade up to the $42.75. There is also a $.36 dividend. It might get pushed out till April but the annualized return is something like 13% or 14%. Nice place to hide.
WEAK BUY
Buy if you don’t mind getting taken out and having a capital gain next to you.
HOLD
Will go private next year. About $2 upside.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 30/07. Up 57.1%.) At the time, telecommunications was screaming that it was a good place to be. Pricing was good.
BUY
Trading at a discount because there are concerns about the very large deals that have yet to close and as to whether they are going to be funded. He feels it is highly unlikely that the deal does not get done. Pretty safe arbitrage play.
DON'T BUY
Large shareholder in company. May be other places to put your money to get better return.
TRADE
Not long or short right now. Yield in very high. Credit concerns are all overblown. There are better ways to make money.
TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Oct 12/06. Up 27.5%.) If you buy now, you will end up with $42.75 plus you get 2 dividends.
BUY
Teachers union has an acquisition with a price of $42.50. His model price is $28.47, a -29% differential, so he hopes the deal goes through. Although he doesn't do arbitrages, you could do so and make a nice annual return. You also get a couple of divide
