A while back I complained that several stocks I had been bearish about had gotten boosts from takeout offers. Namely, Diebold (DBD), Delta Airlines (DAL) and Yahoo! (YHOO).
Delta stock finally broke down, and then agreed to a merger at much lower share prices.
Today I look less stupid about Yahoo, though the stock is still up 5% from the date of my bearish article, compared to a 4.3% decline in the S&P 500.
So that’s two down and one to go. Each reduction in my apparent stupidity is welcome.
