Nice call.

I think it would be crazy to be long BSC right now. I'd short in APR/may. Honestly, if BSC rejects the bid, it would be even better for the shorts. It's JPM or broke. EDIT: Source for building bid being separate from stock swap...

It really surprises me how many people are saying that the deal is going to get rejected. Things to remember about the BSC deal: 1) JPM secured the right to buy the BSC building, regardless of the acquisition. BSC gets kicked out of the building? 2) JPM is running the BSC balance sheet...

Allow me to assist you. You make take your meandering into the previous thread which you started over here: http://elitetrader.com/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=121342

Apr LM puts were surprisingly cheap off the open. Yummy =)

If the deal's not going to happen at $2, it will be worthless before my $5 strike puts expire Thursday.

Not sure. I bought some March $5 strike puts for $0.10/contract on Friday. Fun to watch though.
