Radian Takeover? Play It With Options
http://seekingalpha.com –
Shares of mortgage insurer Radian Group Inc (RDN) spiked 18% higher following news that asset manager Clinton Group is pushing for more disclosures about the business in an effort to convince potential bidders than RDN is worth buying. The stock jumped on hopes that a buyout is possible.
I believe the best way to play a potential takeover is by buying call options on RDN, not stock.

The Confiscation Conundrum in Europe
