Interesting. As a point of comparison, when Microsoft bid a 62% premium for Yahoo back in '08, Yahoo stock spiked about 48%. Doing the math, the market placed the likelihood at 48÷62=77%.

In other words, the market is wildly optimistic.

If it is a general trend on takeover optimism, we should play that angle and become millionaires
