Keith, a few thoughts on being maxed out. Call options, when available, are a good play, significantly leverage your buying power, and also are less damaging in failed deals. I have 20 kroc March 15 calls( at 1 5/8) because I think that deal is very likely before April. Also selling puts is sometimes logical. I sold 10 fpc March 40 puts at 1 5/8 because I did not have funds to put 43,000 into a position. Initial margin was less than 8,000. When funds come in from completed deals the stock can be bought if necessary. This is a mixed strategy which can be used along with straight buys of desirable positions.
I like my ctz position and will add to it. My reading of the prospectus leads me to believe we will get about 50 by February. Also bought tfh this week,very speculative but good return. Thank you for listing it in your post.
P.S., how do you generate your list of candidates.
Good luck.
