99.05.18 - Security First (NASDAQ:SONE - news) decides to leap into the big leagues with a $1 billion buy of Europe's FICS, which makes software for banks. On the heels of that deal the Web bank software maker decides to snap up Edify for $17.87 per share or $345 million. Pro forma SONE will have a third of the world's leading 100 financial institutions using its service. Relatedly, finance software maker Intuit likes what it sees and invests $50 million, or $51.50 per share, for 2.5% of SONE. Deal swirl which makes sense in this unabridged sector. At $637 million market cap for SONE I don't know why Intuit stopped at 2.5%. To me Security First has taken a big step and raised its profile and leverage.
