Being taken out. Merger arbitrage is where you buy it while it's being acquired, and you try to pick up the spread. Risk is the deal fails to close. Not a lot more opportunity here from the price offered. He's getting a 6-8% rate of return to hold it till the deal closes.
BUY
Latest quarter was disappointing, so pullback is a chance to buy. As AMZN continues to grow, hopefully the stock will return to the $35 range over the next 18 months. Yield is around 3%.

COMMENT
A company he has looked at but has not purchased. The packaging business for e-commerce is a good opportunity. The business is steady and they have raised yield but it isn't as good as some infrastructure stocks.
