By the way Joe, how do you evaluate management? What are the concepts & steps do you go through to determine management's competency? I see they sold it for me @ $34.

Even though I owned before you wrote it up- excellent write up before on TRB Joe. I sold out about $33.50 on mine.

"Don't try to pick up coins in front of the bulldozer" You applied this concept. I wanted to let you in on a new quote I learned and one that is a new favorite.

Just wondering with CD on how you find these abritrage deals and what info lend you to beloeve they will happen. I have found the most current info on steetinsider.com. How do you know or find supporting research that a M&A deal will go through? The only usual headline I find before the stock changes is company XYZ hires a an analyst to help "discover" how to increase shareholder value. How to you research more into a deal? What do you look for. Thanx again for the great site!!!! mark Hi Joe,

I wonder who was dumb enough to buy my limit order at $34... and how is that person going to make any money out of it. The reason for selling - my broker would charge me $20 for mandatory tendering of shares. Selling it in the open market costs just $9.99. Just trying to lower my transaction costs.

Good learning experience for real deal. It worked out at final. But, in terms of chance what probability and how you were assigning for the deal to go through when you published your last post? If you could explain your raitonale , it would be helpful to go through. Thanks, Happy Holdiays, CD. Thank You Joe. Good learning experience for real deal. It worked out at final.
