Anyone know what's up with VSIO, the company MSFT is acquiring? .45 msft shares for each VSIO. MSFT can be had at a 7 1/2 point discount if the deal goes through. Supposed to close in late December last I heard. There's always some risk that the deal might be dropped as some part of a settlement, but if the deal goes through it's a good play. Buy 200 VSIO, get 90 MSFT. That's a juicy enough discount, though, that the arbs must be a little worried about it.
