Each week Barron's has a 13D Filings column. 13Ds are filed when a fund (usually an activist hedge fund) accumulates more than 5% of a firm and is planning on pushing for change (e.g.a sale of the company, sale of certain assets, a share buyback, or a share dividend) to unlock value.

Carlson Capital said that it opposes the proposed acquisition of FiberNet by Zayo Group, calling Zayo's $11.45-a-share offer far below the company's intrinsic value. Carlson believes the true value exceeds $14.50 per share. Carlson Capital believes that FiberNet's stock value historically has been depressed, owing to factors such as limited trading liquidity. FiberNet has said that it will solicit superior proposals from third parties until June 17. Carlson Capital currently holds a 10.1% stake in the company.

Elliott Associates and Endologix entered into an agreement allowing Elliott to acquire up to 20% of the company's common stock. In the case of ELGX, the board had rejected Elliott's previous offer to acquire the company. By insisting on prior approval by the company of prospective share acquisitions up to 20% of total ownership, Elliott is reserving its right to buy the company in the future. Without such approval, Delaware law would restrict an acquisition of the company by Elliott for up to three years.

02.09.10 | 17:15 PM Asked by Larry in Dallas

A. While I am sure there are various
reasons for a sell off of any particular
stock, there are two things worth
mentioning:

1. Day traders: One of the rules common
to day trading is to be all cash at the
end of the day. As a result, many day
traders cash out of their trading
positions toward the end of the day so
they are ready to go back to the battle
the following morning.

2. I do not know that this would be the
last 30 minutes, but margin calls could
potentially cause some selling if it is
needed to make up any shortage in the
margin (in other words, if you are
required to hold 15% and you could
borrow 85% the value of a security, and
the stock price change during the day
made it to where you were borrowing 90%,
then some shares would need to be sold
to make up the difference).

I hope that helps... I am sure others
can shed far more light than I.
