Everyone seem to be missing a couple of fundamental truths about this aspect of the market. Any actual acquisitions of any merit are going to be kept particularly quiet by the individuals negotiating the transaction. You think they want the investing public to get wind of it before their friends and family can get in? There usually is a window of time after a news announcement that will allow people close to the company to get in before the general public responds. Also, usually the word does leak out to the closest of people and you will see some frontrunning. This will result in an unexplained move sharply up followed by the news. Either way, an outsider will never get to participate in this early move unless he acquires prior to everything happening. The only way to choose on that basis is to investigate who is in charge of the shell. Is it someone in the business who can and will restructure it or is it the previous president who tanked the deal before?
