Rare opportunity for the Rite Aid (RAD) buyout.
Currently priced at $6.93, expected to be bought out by Walgreens at $9.
If the deal fall through, you can imagine it dropping to about $5. If it goes through, you get $9.
It's a roughly 50/50 proposition for something that is more than 50% likely to go through. Trump just added a new FTC chairperson, and the one person expected to block the deal (Ramirez) will resign on Feb. 10th. When she does so, then Trump's FTC will most likely allow the deal to pass. The questions are 1) will Walgreens extend the deal or just go through with it without the FTC's blessing (likely) or just abandon the deal (unlikely), and 2) will Ramirez really kill the deal before resigning (unlikely).
Not a 100% thing, but these are the advantageous coin flips that you pray to find if you really want to gamble in the stock market. Size your bet accordingly.
Note that I am not a financial advisor and this shouldn't be considered sound financial advice; I just like advantageous gambling.
Looks like the deal hasn't happened yet but the stock price fell by half wonder if it's a good time to buy now?
Maybe. As I posted earlier, it's either falling to $3 or slightly lower than $3 or jumping to $6.50-$7.00. Walgreen's CEO announced that he expects it to go through by end of July, so there is that.
I will probably take a position, albeit a rather small one.

Anyone forsee any big upcoming FX plays? I did well shorting the £ at Brexit and the MXN Peso at Trump's election. But the day-to-day stuff has just been too volatile and hard for me to predict lately (even for FX).

Shopify is an amazing company. I am up well over 100% on it now.
I will increase my holding on any decent pullback this year.

Shopify stock price has increased another 27% since my post 5 weeks ago. This company is a core holding of mine, and is growing like gangbusters.

What does no one want to buy at the moment?
I'm looking to pick a basket of stocks/funds and hold. Decent dividend would be a bonus.
I have access to these markets:

To start the ball rolling:
Grains: http://www.investopedia.com/markets/stocks/jjg/
S&P500 Short: https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/quote/SH?ltr=1
Secondly, does anyone know where I can look at stocks ordered by equity : market cap. ratio, and stocks that have low RSIs over a long period?
