If you get $29 take it and run. Normally once a bid is in
its done. I dought there will be another bidder. I was
reading where Fed's assisted in sale of Mer.
It depends... Was the buyout done through shares of BAC marked
to market on Friday or is it a cash deal? I wasn't able to find out
yet, but if BAC is using their stock, the jury is still out until
the market opens tomorrow to see how the market values their
stock.
What would you do tomorrow

if you are still tempted to hang on, dump the shares, book the profit, and play the options for the gamble, just my 2 cents.

Deal done with stock (no

Deal done with stock (no cash) - I'd take the gift and sell immediately. BAC will likely be down causing SKF to rise.
Yeah Steve and for once

Yeah Steve and for once I'm not long the SKF. Well...I'm sutre there will be other opportunities. Look on the bright side.

As Martin Schwartz aka "The Pit Bull" used to say, " I'm short! I'm short! I'm way too #$%^&* short!"
Just covered my short position on SPX I took a couple of hours ago for 20 pts. Like Matt my week is done.
I bid you all good night and thank you for your company. Good trading!
So the jury is still

So the jury is still out but BAC would have to take one heck of a dive to make this deal unattractive. On Friday close BAC market cap was 154 billion.
