THX. Oops. I didn't do well with my recent buys of THX at 55. Jana Partners, which bought a chunk of THX, offered to buy the remainder of the company last year for $62/sh. They were rebuffed by THX. Now though...sigh... now that natural gas prices have fallen, THX agrees today to a buyout offer from Forest Oil at $52/sh. in stock and cash. (Benefit apparently to Jana is that Jana will clear their position in THX (although taking their lumps), and they will have a position in Forest). I guessed it was a risky spec. play buying at $55, because the stock price fell off as Jana failed to increase its offer, THX didn't modify its objections, and no further buyers came forward at the lower price. I closed my position this morning. finance.yahoo.com
