There's been a lot on this board about the credit & mortgage crisis, how we got there, where we're going, and the roles of all involved, especially the investment banks (where, incidentally, many of us work).

Don't miss this workshop..

Playtex takeover

HedgeHog — Fri, 13 Jul 2007 15:21:16 -0400

From Dealbreaker.com:

Playtex Products (NYSE: PYX) is having an especially heavy flow day, up almost 16% to a new 52-week high after Energizer announced it would acquire the company for $1.2 billion. Energizer has looked to stop the bleeding from its core products with a regular cycle of spotting available consumer product manufacturing targets. Aggressive periodic acquisitions have helped shares of Energizer double in the past year. Not known for its out of the box thinking (picking up an extra consumer staple here and there), Energizer's management was aided in this case by keeping its thinking strictly inside the box.
