Fantastic!! Thanks. First site is new to me and has exactly what I was looking for. Do you know how often the list is updated? I am considering pbsf by cyn but deal not shown on list. I prefer deals I believe to have high probability of going thru or for stock I wouldnt mind owning if not. Returns are much smaller but I am getting conservative. Also selling puts can also be a reasonable strategy when one feels strongly that the deal will consumate, for example I sold phb Sept,Oct and Nov puts. In terms of stocks I wouldnt mind owning SSI fits the bill. Other positions I have taken are fpc,vias,cexp,umg and wfds. Best of luck and thanks again.

re: LUCK, CAST. Thanks for mentioning LUCK. I'm starting a small position today. The deal's just recently been announced, so there might be some more time to get good prices. I don't know what to do with CAST. I'm grateful the stock's come back, but I'm still underwater on several buys of it. The buyout is now going to be $17 they say, instead of $18.10, so that changes the return. I'll come out with an absolute profit if I hold and the deal gets completed. But given time value of money, I'm not sure 1 point on a 16 dollar stock by I'm-not-sure when, is how to play it. Paul Senior
