Stories this morning. Deal news dominating this morning. Valeant ends the buyout deal for allergan. They made an unsolicited deal last spring. It looks like the soap opera could end, 210 is more than they expected. Hackman and valeant are going to share the profits that ackman has reportedly made with the stock at 40 . This is a winwin situation because of the way he structured this. But valeant shareholders effectively split the profits with ackman. With the purchase there. Thats pretty interesting. We will see what they can do. I think that 210 is sort of a knockout blow. But because the expectation was that valeant could only go to 200 or 205. Valeants ceo said they were going to be getting great tax benefits out of the deal. So the question is, what does ackman get out of this . Did you just say that the stock is at 213 . I could be wrong. There could be a higher bid potentially. Wow. There it is. Look at you. Always good to be right. Well, i dont know. Maybe theres more to be had

Inflation expectations have fallen to levels which seem to be fashionably low. I guess the market is poking on the dovish side of that saying or reiterating that they have to be super careful that Inflation Expectations are not the ankle rate. Inflation expectations would equal monetary tightening, i. E. , would harm the fragile economic recovery. Also, that he was referring to the recent data from yesterday that the pmi levels are showing that a stronger recovery is rather unlikely in the coming months. It was probably back in the view of the doves in the markets. We are seeing that directly in the Euro Dollar Exchange rate. The euro is sharply lower versus the u. S. Dollar.
