Buying after purchase offer...
I'm 3 for 3, trying to make it 4 for 4:
1) Tim Hortons by US Burger King: Many thought deal would not go thru cuz of "tax inversion" issue. US gov't can't agree on anything so pulled the trigger on a bunch of shares below offer price. Deal went thru & deterioration of CAD made profits even higher. US gov still arguing about this issue. Go figure.
2) Carfinco by Spain's Santander: Many thought deal was dead when CFN lowered dividend post-offer so picked up cheap shares then. Dividend was only lowered to pay for deal's transaction fees. Deal went thru.
3) Alter NRG by Chinese company based in US: Many thought deal was dead cuz approval was delayed by US gov't . Picked up a lot of shares well below offer price. Deal went thru.
4) LRE: Many think deal is dead cuz debenture holders won't approve. Holders don't want to settle for 75cents on the dollar. How about ZERO cents on the dollar if deal fails? Picked up a lot of shares at 33 cents. Approval of deal?...stay tuned...
