American Realty Capital Trust Inc

It’s been really boring without any good M&A plays out there. This morning as I was reading the Wall Street Journal, I noticed a tombstone ad detailing the tender offer for American Realty Capital Trust Inc (Ticker: ARCT). The company is conducting a tender offer to purchase shares from a minimum price of $10.50 to a maximum price of $11.00. It looks like odd lot shares will take priority.

Right now, I just have tiny positions in Illumina (Ticker: ILMN) and Jaguar Mining (Ticker: JAG). I’m not looking to go big in any way with these positions. Illumina is being stalked by Roche and Jaguar Mining is going through a strategic alternative review. Just make a few $ if it works out…
