I know I was hoping for $10 but the general market is making me stressed. I think I am going to close this trade, which has turned out well about $.30 before I get to my original target.

Original Trade Post:

I think the buyout rumors on DMD are more likely to be true than not. If I don’t get some news by the end of next week that indicates this is a lock, I might sell on fear that they will fill the gap to $7.00.

This is a pretty aggressive trade but I think the pre-merger arbitrage here is very interesting. In case you missed it, the scoop is that DMD (content spammers) are likely to be acquired by a private equity firm. Frankly they need the help and access to capital. BEcause they are on the verge of being profitable, I think this is exactly when a private equity firm would want to step in.
