TAKEOVERS
---------

O	Try to buy stocks which seem likely to be taken over.  These are
	companies that are rich in assets and small in price (low P/E).

O	Should your company be taken over, hold back a few shares in the
	hope that the company will buy them back from you at a ridiculous
	price (should they want to go private etc).

O	You might consider buying stock in a company that is being taken
	over.  Should the takeover bid fail, higher stock prices may 
	prevail for the takeover target.
