More takeover speculation in Bloomberg today: Centocor Inc. (CNTO): Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) is close to an agreement to acquire the biotechnology company, a person familiar with the discussions said. Centocor's shares rose 27 percent since April 20 on the takeover speculation. Both companies have declined comment. Centocor shares rose 9/16 to 44 3/8. J&J shares fell 1 3/16 to 97 1/2. It certainly (like AGPH) fits the takeover profile - it's not dilutive and it's still pretty cheap. I'm currently modestly long. There's still a big short position (5.5 million, but it's down a lot from 6 months ago.) Peter
