Q: Hey 5i Team,
I know you don't focus on the US but I wondered if you had any insight into the complicated "buyout" Albertsons is trying to do. I own a full stock position and wondered if you would just wait it out till sales goes thru or hold long term. Just seems especially complicated being that Albertsons is private and trying to go public thru buying rite aid.
Thanks

Q: Hi 5i,

Has your opinon changed at all on the Walgreens and Rite Aid merger going through? They make it sound like the only condition to fulfill is to divest 1200 stores. Not sure if that's true?

The Rite Aid stock is at $7.50 right now and merger price is $9.00. That's a potential 20% return within the next 3 months. Is it worth the risk? I imagine doing an options call would be be more profitble "if" the merger happens?
