Online Trading Opportunities during Takeovers, Mergers & Acquisitions
LONDON, July 1, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
David Jones' (DJS) share price rose 15 per cent today (Friday 29 June) when the
company confirmed that it has received an unsolicited takeover approach from a UK entity.
Despite the initial mystery behind the unsolicited offer, other retail stocks in
Australia also appreciated during the morning trade.
Peter Esho, Chief Market Analyst at City Index
[http://www.cityindex.com.au/market-analysis/market-commentary.aspx ] said, "The approach
to David Jones means only one thing - the domestic retail stocks are now in play and M&A
strategies which were previously on the back burner will now be brought forward."
The local stock market also jumped higher as soon as some positive news from the
European Union's summit hit the market.
Trading the News
Trading the news is one strategy used by active traders who monitor the market on a
regular basis.
Takeover moves, mergers and acquisitions and big news events such as the EU summit all
present trading opportunities, particularly to day traders.

[http://www.cityindex.com.au/cfd-trading ], you can use the online trading platform to

strategy.
You may also use pairs trading in Index CFDs such as the ASX 200, Hang Seng, Nikkei
225, the US100 and the UK100.
Though many of these indices tend to follow each other's direction, there are
instances where they could go separate ways and that may present a pairs trading strategy
in a global scale.
There are different order types e.g. Good Till Cancelled, Good for the Day, Limit Sell
and Limit Buy, that you can place if you think the market will move one way or another.
Remember, however you trade CFDs - they come with a higher level of risk and are not
