Alternately, when it is close to deal completion (the spread is usually close to zero) the position is reversed; that is, cover ...
This return is usually compared with 2 ×90 day treasury bill rate as the benchmark to determine if the trade is viable. Note tha ...
The mechanics involve putting on a spread position when the deal is an- nounced and unwinding it on deal completion. The spread ...

the direction of trading for the two stocks, let us determine the specified quantities. The quantity of the target stock (Compaq ...
(^1) Since these trades are all done to fill the same order, we can expect the trade direc- tion to be uniform across all execut ...
As a necessary preprocessing step, we evaluate the equivalent target share quantities for the fill quantities on the bidder side ...
