Instead of trading the high risk (high return) mergers, I prefer to trade the lower risk spreads. I used to trade the higher risk spreads and instead of trading them back and forth (scalping), I found myself holding them thinking that anyday this merger will go through. Some did go through but took a lot longer than planned and some blew up leaving me with a large loss. If you have a loss of 33%, you need to gain 50% after that to get your portfolio back to even. In this environment, I would recommend staying away from the higher risk mergers and focus your attention on the lower risk ones. If you are trading cash mergers, make sure to trade the ones that are not borrowing money and using cash from their balance sheet. The stock mergers are my favorite to trade but takes more advanced software to trade them easily.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798074091942701235.post-35267868145869215902007-08-14T13:35:00.000-04:002007-08-14T13:35:00.000-04:00Yeah that site isn't free but I have no problem wi...Yeah that site isn't free but I have no problem with people offering paid services. I haven't seen any reports from that site but if he/she digs into the deals and gives solid info, it may be worth it to those that can afford it.<BR/><BR/>The free site I linked in my site has misleading info. It seems to be correct at time of publication but not in real-time. For example, a lot of the deals with high potential return percentages are stock swap deals and the stocks of the buyer have fallen a lot.Sivaram Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06361276466660862882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798074091942701235.post-58473890663105093132007-08-13T22:31:00.000-04:002007-08-13T22:31:00.000-04:00That maresearch.com website doesn't offer any time...That maresearch.com website doesn't offer any timely information at all for free, so I don't know what the other poster is complaining about. Unless the owner of that site has access to insider information, he is just regurgitating publicly available information, and charging a lot of money to read it. This guy must be associated with the site somehow, and feels the need to go around and bash his competitors.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798074091942701235.post-19263441990665042352007-08-12T20:30:00.000-04:002007-08-12T20:30:00.000-04:00Thanks for the info.
