A list of recent hits
Here is a (hoping that i can recall all and hence "complete") list of all takeovers in my portfolio ( or in 3 other portfolios that i maintain for friends )
over the last year or so.
I will skip hostile/unsuccessful takeovers. I also won't mention rumored takeovers here - that will be another list sometime later. I also intend to list potential targets in my current holdings in a later post.
Most of the takeovers happened just a few weeks after i acquired the stock and
in some cases it was actually under a week ( just luck here ).
I can group the targets under various themes and that will be a topic for an upcoming post.
- JD Edwards : acquired by PeopleSoft
- Legato : EMC
- Documentum : EMC
- Good Guys : CompUSA
- Blue Rhino : Ferrel Gas
- Kroll : Marsh & McLennan

- Wheaton River : Couer D'Alene
- Digital Think : CSG Systems
