>Is this true for cash deals also?

Yes. Cash deals usually get done quicker, but commensurately, you get a narrower spread.

>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.

Since the arb has his position boxed in, the wild fluctuations only screw up his calculus if the gyrating prices actually kill the deal.

In any case, I liked your PCTV arb, so I stole a chunk at 7 1/4. I may already be a winner. Did you manage to get any more?

Any more MMDS plays out there? WIRL? ATEL? You're the expert, so I'm leaning on you for some Monday morning swashbuckling...
