That article was just some page filler as it doesn't contain any hard concrete useful information. You would think if someone was to use "How to identify takeover targets for profits" as a title, the article would give good info.

Then he pulls out a stat like this “The advantage is that substantial profits can be made as takeovers tend to occur at a 38% to 54% premium to market,” said Peter Besler, an investment advisor at MGI Securities in Toronto."

I'm happy this Peter Besler guy is not negotiating on our behalf.
