Said it before and I'll say it again, nothing like listening to a professional who makes a complex system and strategy make sense very easily. These are the people you learn from (even if you don't apply the lesson you pick up the understanding).
As an IB professional, I have to say you deliver some of the best capital markets information on CZcams in a matter that can be easily absorbed and well understood by non-finance professionals.
Merger arbitrage is fun until you realize TD charges a $38 "reorganization" fee, I have to make bigger bets to offset that one. Was nice knowing you, Vivint Solar.
Great content. I noticed at the end the talk about the like button but it was after the whole video and alot of ppl might have already left. Watch a few videos from Gram Stephan and you can see how he incorporates that very early on.
Hi Patrick! I love your videos so much I talk about them all the time with my friends. All the information is so well explained and I appreciate the humor you sneak in here and there! I keep telling so many of my friends "if only you understood English I could link you this amazing video on X or Y". Damn shame that some people just never bothered to study English when they where young and now it feels like its too late for some of them xD
You sir are like noone out there, as I am on markets since over 17 years now nevertheless I listen to you mate and feeling like a greenhorn :D Awesome mate, simply awesome, thank you so much for sharing it here! Deep respect and many thanks
Hey Patrick, great video. I'm still going through some of the books you recommended and I'm on Fiasco where Frank's talking about the Ajustabonos. I think a video talking about all the banks trying to get into the Mexican/Latin American markets in the '90s would be interesting.
Interesting topic and watching it play out now on one of my investments. As a retail holder who bought a long time ago it's helping see a fair price being paid for the takeover. Definitely some questionable trades though very much verging on insider trading.
I don't know if you script these presentations beforehand and read them from a prompter, or just know the material so well and have such a gift or level of training for conversational discourse that you do not need to say "um" ore "uh", ever. Either way the videos are impressive, but for the latter case, even more so.
What a great video to stumble on. I've been doing this since I started trading, but haven't even thought to look for a vid on it. What would I look for if I didn't know it was a named strategy, right. I keep telling people, cz it seems like easy money. My experience has been alot better than 2-3% tho. I did Husky-Cenovus, made like 40-50%. Husky dropped a lot after the announcement, cz of the oil crisis, I guess, I could have made another 25% if I held 1 more day, then they evened out. And right now I'm all-in levered 3x for KCS-CN rail merger, lol. Only to make about 25% tho. I am not doing the shorting part, I'm not sure I follow why I should do that. I just watch the deal like a hawk, 3 companies, 2 offers, the US STB, twice a day, news, prices, etc. And I am relying on a voting trust, where I believe it means we will get paid right away if the there is an agreemnet made??? Is that correct, Patrick? ty peace
I've always been fascinated by this sort of financial "black magic" but struggled to understand any of it. However, since your channel was suggested to me, I'm now beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel. Helped by your clear, understandable explainations Patrick and you've got another sub. The summing up overview at the end of each video is excellent. ps. Glad to see your tie and pocket hankerchief don't match. Sign of man with classic, good dress sense. 👍
I still don't understand where the spread comes from? In a stock deal, when you long the target's stock, you make money from the increase of the stock price if the deal is successfully closed. When you hedge with a short position at 3.5 shares, you lose money accordingly.
Question for Patrick or anyone with MA knowledge. Are there any investors or hedge funds that specifically trade deal breaks? So pretty much do the opposite of what is said in the video. If you can have a superior knowledge of which deals would break, surely this would be profitable? are there any funds that specialise in shorting the target stock?
After a terrible 2022, shell-shocked financial backers have a lot to think about and losses to recover from. An expansion report and a wealth of other data did little to alter assumptions that the Central bank would likely keep raising interest rates regardless of whether the economy slows down. This implies that portfolios will experience more losses during the first quarter of 2023. I'm currently at a crossroads deciding whether to exchange my $250k security/stock portfolio; how might the continuous market volatility work to my advantage?
Concentrate on two main objectives. First and foremost, keep yourself safe by knowing when to sell stocks to reduce losses and maximize gains. Second, prepare yourself to gain from a market turnaround. I advise you to seek the advice of a representative or financial counselor

Traded at NSE and BSE and is taken over by the RELIANCE INDUSTRY led by Mukesh Ambani and the level of uncertainty is brought by its opposing party AMAZON led by Jeff Bezos
Great video, as usual. Thank you! An idea for a video: it may be interesting to do a video on long/short macro strategy and how such investors structure their long-short spreads to hedge market and sector risks and, of course, the risks involved in this strategy...
Patrick, at 21:42 did you mean this strategy has an absolute return of 3% per year, or 3pp on top of the market on a good year? So for 2021 when the market was up~30%, this strategy would be produce 33%?
The failed Qualcomm-NXP merger about 5 years ago is an example of the uncertainty of a merger actually going through. The situation dragged on for about two years before the deal got nixed by Chinese regulators.
Is there any advice you can give to be able to decypher the news when it comes to these merger events. What are usually the catalyst that causes them to fall through?
And trust me - this is the version for Dummies. I have a Masters in Financial Engg from a top college and being doing this sort of stuff for 18 years - and I can tell you this man is really really good at this stuff.
Excellent content. I have 1 question though. What is the role that derivatives, i.e. both futures and options play in bringing down the risk of the hedge funds when they decide to get involved in this sort of trade. Appreciate if you can share a short note on this.
if you purchase shares or calls with the expectation a company maybe purchased (given some of the acquisition sentiment is priced into the current share price), you can then sell covered calls to limit the downside of a potential opposite movement and in the case if you purchase calls with the same expectation and if there is a probability the deal may not go through, the movement in either direction will likely be quite large in which you can use an options straddle where you think the movement will exceed a certain amount (i.e you buy calls and puts depending on how big you think movement will be in either direction) and therefore potentially make money on either side but not both if the movement is indeed large enough. you will however lose all the initial investment if the movement in either direction is not large enough. Hope this provides some insight into your question.
@@skdx1000 Thanks for this very lucid explanation. Much appreciated. However, taking this a bit further, how does selling a OTM strangle work vis-a-vis buying the ATM straddle/selling covered call combo mentioned above. I believe this might bring in a net credit (with perhaps more money involved in putting down margin) but not sure how hedge funds build their derivatives strategies for this sort of transactions when multiple choices are available. To be more specific, do they go in for a net credit or a net debit approach. Appreciate if you can throw some light on their thought process here.
@@somindrag i think the answer to this is situational and has much to do with the analysis of the parties involved and the fundamentals in a finance sense. The best strategy is up for debate. In some cases based on risk parameters and various statistical analysis or even position size, liquidity, etc has an effect on this decision. For different options strategies the time-value of money will be different so you are essentially looking at the absolute position you would like to take and from that build a payoff matrix of the strategies available and have a black box function that calculates the opportunity cost for each possible strategy and then pick the one that fits with your funds investment philosophy (this is highly variant and is why there are so many funds and why risk measurement and opportunity cost is a forever ongoing topic of research)
Great video! Have a couple of questions to ask. When it comes to mitigating the risks of a deal being canceled, do you believe that purchasing a put option is the best way to go? Also, when it comes to returns. Do you believe that a 35-40% return on this strategy is feasible on a small capital of less than a million?
In the stock deal, why can’t I just buy Spotify and then, when I receive the 3 1/2 shares of Apple at deal closing, sell them? I know there’s market risk but that’s also true if I’m short Apple. I don’t see why I have to short Apple to get the up front $380. I don’t get the up front $380 in the cash deal.
Just finding your videos now. I think a follow up to this video using the Activision blizzard king and Microsoft acquisition as a case study would be really interesting and would do well on CZcams. I say this having found you through asmongold.
Hey Patrick! I am 19, and have been investing all the money I’ve saved while in highschool/college- I was wondering if you had any tips for a new investor.

Hi..

The term arbitrage really has two meanings depending on context - in academic/theoretical context it refers to a truly risk-free transaction (as in, buy low and sell high at the exact same instant with zero execution risk). In practical use it just has the common meaning of taking advantage of price differences across markets (or, in risk/merger arbitrage, across time) in various ways which are generally low risk but not truly risk-free, because in the real world execution risk, counterparty risk etc. are always present in some form.
