Systematic Corporate Action Arbitrage Trading - the SCAATman

@stanwawrinka Melting in Tuscany. No tennis for me this week!

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

Risk arb universe full of Chinese buyer risk. Big spreads. Are theses deals SAFE?

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

Do men in office jobs really need to bring a backpack to work?

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

Why do women carry 2 bags everywhere? A big handbag and a canvas bag...

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

Whisper it..... premier league player of the season (so far), Mesut Ozil

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

Blue Horseshoe loves LGO Energy

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

Can't see any of them making a lions 15 which is unusual for England. Even the Ozzies beat up their scrum.

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

Nobody analysing England rugby seems to be looking at the quality of the players. Their pack, a traditional strength, is barely tier one.

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

Yes, we know deals can get leaked too early but can't help but think over zealous takeover panel restrictionsno longer serve investors well

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

ASW LN, good to see a deal announced without the now customary approach, statment re possible offer and prolonged will they/won't they dance

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

@rogerfederer eventhough I am not Swiss, am hoping for an all Swiss final!

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

Maybe now arbs will stop paying for the ISYS M&M's although I doubt it - and they are right.

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

Only get 3-5 decent sized deals in Europe and 1 collapses (CLS1, TNTE, RHK) each year. Not great economics albeit CLS1 downside limited.

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

@rogerfederer at least make players responsible for getting/returning their own towel. Stop unedifying treatment of the ballkids

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

@AngryArb its Like that old chestnut "the deal break is already priced in" - it never gets fully priced in until it happens!

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

No low hanging fruit means you gotta dig a bit deeper.

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

Peeps are too bearish on the event driven space. Sure, there is a shortage of large cap risk arb deals but there are ALWAYS trades to do!

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

Too many arbs who are also gooner fans. Watching arsenal....now that's a low return strategy!

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

TNT @ 7, 50:50, place your bets......problem is most chips have already been long since placed.

[David Sweeney @dsweeney520]

Like the secret footballer, we are all wondering......who is AngryArb? Buy side trader/pm covering global deals.
