<I think I remember Merton (of Long-Term Capital fame) say that you shouldn't play risk arbitrage without asymmetrical information. FWIW.> Is this true for cash deals also? Seems like Sprint is not likely to fail before the deal is up and then it's a question of whether the company sells. The CEO's family are large shareholders so there is risk that they won't take the offer. But, a cash deal seems so solid vs a stock deal where the buying target is wildly fluctuating with the value of the acquiring company. <How many names do you have in your portfolio, anyway? Seems like you're always there when something new pop ups?> Too may. I currently have 12 in my main account and a few others in several accounts. Actually it's less than I've had in the past. I love to buy stocks. I follow about 100 names though and spend all day on research. Regards, Mark
