HOW TO SPOT A COMING TAKE-OVER BID
BEFORE IT IS ANNOUNCED.
(C) 2010 William Schmidt, Ph.D. www.tigersoft.com 9/14/2010
When one company buys out another it first discusses the possibilities with its
Wall Street bankers, its lawyers and accountants and often the Board of DIrectors
of the company being bid for, at least to feel them out. These are the insiders
whose "insider buying" we detect. They are seldom required to post their purchases
with the SEC in other companies unless their buying is massive..
Rarely does the SEC police the "insider buying" that a takeover bid usually engenders,
except perhaps to look at the option trading before the accouncement. Usually, the SEC
only takes up a case where the insider buying of options is obvious and egregious.
Most of the time, the SEC does not want to challenge the big players on Wall Street.
It is far more likely to accomodate Wall Street professionals, for example, as it did when it
changed the short-selling rules in June 2007 to make aggresive professional short selling
much easier, conveniently for Wall Street right before the 2007-2009 bear market.
I have wrtten a number of essays on complicity of the SEC with Wall Street criminals.
and the Crash of 2008=2009. They will show, I think, that investors should not rely
upon the SEC to level the playing field for the public investor.
June 28, 2007 Who's Guarding The Investors' Hen House?. SEC Chairman Cox?
August 15, 2007 The SEC Role in The 2007 Market Crash
11/19/2008 The Role of ULTRA ProShares EYFs in the Bubble and the Crash..."The current
SEC is clearly in cahoots with criminal bear raiders."
More and more, the SEC seems to only pick a case of insider trading that is easy to prove
where the insider trading profits are very big. Insiders realize this and they buy and
sell with little fear that the SEC will penalize them unless they are particularly careless.
Lawyers do bring class action suits against some CEOs that Sell based on unreleased
and material insider knowledge, But I have not heard of class ation law suits against insiders
who bought heavily before a stock rose.
It may be human nature to show off their insider status or it may be simple greed,
but you can usually count on some of the insiders to quietly tell their friends and trading
associates about the stock that is going to be bid for. Wall Street is filled with analysts
and stock brokers who trade inside information with each other for a living. Secrets like
a takeover-bid are next to impossible to keep silent about.
It is all this insider buying that TigerSoft picks up on. We nearly always spot tell-tale bulges
of insider buying in the stock's TigerSoft Insider Charts, first from our invention, the Tiger
Accumulation Index and second from the stock's rising Professional Closing Power that leads
such stocks to new highs.
I emphasize we are outsiders. We do not know who the buyers are. We do not know how
much they will offer to buy a compnay out. And we do not know if the bid will be
accepted. Even so, we still can make big money regularly using Tiger's Insider Trading charts.
Here's how.
