Play for the post-announcement pop?
Deutsche Telekom is chasing Sprint. No deal annouced yet, and stock gapped up today. Currently it is up 10% on the news.
“Sources said Deutsche Telekom (DT) could submit a bid for Sprint, which has a market valuation of $10.6bn (£6.3bn), within the next few weeks.” - telegraph.co.uk article
Just hazzarding a guess, I would says DT will offer 20-30% premium to the recent trading avg of Sprint. So, I think the price could pop another 10-20% from today’s current price.
DT sounds serious (based on the article above). I think I will gamble a bit and play for the post-annoucement pop. I am entering a position today (9/14/2009) at $4.10/sh in my simulated portfolio.
