  • Special Situations: Tender Offers 1960S
    Special Situations: Tender Offers 1960s The aggregated material below is brought together from several reference books written during the 1960s. This shows that opportunities were abundant even 50 years ago. Categories of special situations will wax and wane depending on corporations expanding, acquiring, and merging to consolidate their industries so tender offer opportunities will increase. After a merger wave, the inevitable urge to refocus, correct mistakes, and purge will increase spin-offs, split-offs, divestitures, and liquidations. TRADING PROCEDURES: WHY PROFIT POTENTIALS EXIST (Source: Investors’ Guide to Special Situations in the Stock Market by Maurece Schiller (1966) Profit potentials in Trading Procedures exist not only from technicalities such as arbitraging/hedging but from (a) price differences due to time of issuance of securities, (b) a decision to dispose of interest in as situation (other use for the money may be needed) rather than await termination, and (c) general public‟s ignorance and indifference to full importance of Corporate Action creating the trading opportunities. ANALYTICAL STEPS The analytical approach to Trading Procedure Corporate Actions differs from other special situation areas in that securities prices are the main interest rather than the quality of the investment.
