10/25/2007 3:41:20 PM Can anyone explain what is going on in this chart? See the very narrow range candles....it looks like it is going nowhere but is moving steadily up. It just looks strange to me, is it accumulation or indecision ?  |

10/25/2007 3:56:16 PM just looking at the volume I can see more black bars than red...accumulation would be my guess. |

10/26/2007 6:51:01 AM Thanks JohnPaul, good input. I read that narrow range candles on decent volume usually means accumulation but i dont really get how someone can distinguish accumulation from distribution until there is a break out or break down. |

10/26/2007 3:31:07 PM Right I finally solved the mystery...AL and BOL are being taken over so will cease to exist in the coming days or weeks I knew there was something strange going on LOL |

10/26/2007 4:41:26 PM I see what ur saying...GSF ( I sold this morning) is being taken over or merging with RIG by year end and yet the chart doesn't look anything like BOL or AL. What happens if they merging??? is their a difference ???  |

10/29/2007 3:13:13 PM Maybe the difference is time scale, BOL and AL ceasing to exist sooner than GSF? I dont really know, dont have a business background. There is probably some business type logical explanation for this price action... |

10/29/2007 4:56:47 PM When a merger or acquisition has been agreed, and the terms decided, as in this case, the share price isn't going to move. e.g, Rio Tinto is taking over Alcan with a share price agreed of $101 "The offer to purchase all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Alcan for US$101 per common share". The same is true for Bausch & Lomb e.g. "troubled leader in the eye care industry, said yesterday that it had accepted a $4.5 billion takeover offer from investment groups controlled by Warburg Pincus, a private equity firm known for backing a wide range of health care companies. The offer was for $65 a share in cash. The deal includes $3.67 billion in cash and the assumption of $830 million in debt. " |
