Relative to the risk to the LONG investor of a share deal, how do you feel about the traditional approach of immediately shorting the shares of the acquiring company? Best wishes, Jim

My only point is that NN shareholders own NN shares, and these shares will drop just as much as the potential acquirer shares like ALA if there is a tech correction, perhaps even more. Yahoo, trading at PE over 500 is not going to buy NN. No responsible corporate treasurer in her right mind is going to offer cash, when shares can be used.
