From Barron's 7-23-07:
"As the summer rolls, merger and acquisition activity, frenzied at times, continues to fire up Wall Street. Some $1.2 trillion of deals have been announced year to date, with many targets commanding healthy premiums. Several members of the Barron's Roundtable -- and readers who heeded their advice -- also have hit the merger jackpot, after some of the group's 2006 and 2007 recommendations were acquired. The sellers are reinvesting in other favorites."
Here are some of the those plays.

-
SXT
Sensient Tech Cor - $25.88
- 0.00%
- $N/A
From Barron's 7-23-07: "Mario Gabelli, chairman of Gamco Investors (GBL), plans to use his "winnings" to snap up shares of Sensient Technologies (SXT) and Kaman (KAMN), betting that both eventually could be takeover targets...Sensient, a maker of colors, flavors and fragrances, could be acquired within a year for as much as 32 a share, 18% above its current price, he wagers. A possible buyer: Germany's Symrise (SY1.Germany), which is seeking to expand here."

KAMN
Kaman Corporation - $23.17
- 0.00%
- $N/A
From Barron's 7-23-07: "Mario Gabelli, chairman of Gamco Investors (GBL), plans to use his "winnings" to snap up shares of Sensient Technologies (SXT) and Kaman (KAMN), betting that both eventually could be takeover targets."

-
USM
U S Cellular - $38.16
- -0.10%
- $38.40
From Barron's 7-23-07: "Mario Gabelli, on the other hand, won't let his expected profits burn a hole in his pocket. He believes "we're in the afternoon" of the current merger boom, with the consolidation wave rolling through the hotel and wireless-communications sectors; U.S. Cellular (USM), which he recommended in the Midyear Roundtable in June, could be a prime target, he says."

-
C
Citigroup Inc - $4.17
- -0.95%
- $4.23
From Barron's 7-23-07: "John Neff, former captain of the Vanguard Windsor Fund (VWNDX), was a big fan of Lyondell, which will be sold to the Dutch chemical company Basell for $12.6 billion, or $48 a share. He used some of the profits to bank on an old favorite, Citigroup (C), which he thinks could be "20% to 25% higher as things unfold this year and next."
