There is the potential that EDF or another buyer will bid high enough to cause CEG to consider their bid. That would result in a serious loss to a short position.</p> <p>That said, I could see your &quot;reverse&quot; arbitrage work in other situations.</p> Fri, 03 Oct 2008 13:00:31 -0400 George comment 1823 at http://www.valueinvestingnews.com http://www.valueinvestingnews.com/constellation-energy-group-merger-arbitrage-profits#comment-1822 <p>George, Whats you take on a "reverse" Arbitrage. I.e. Shorting the stock if it perhaps trades over buyout price?</p> Fri, 03 Oct 2008 12:36:42 -0400 rwmcpar comment 1822 at http://www.valueinvestingnews.com
