We purchased Navteq (NVT) at $73.33 yesterday. The stock is a low risk arbitration play as Nokia (NOK) is acquiring Navteq at $78 per share cash. The deal is awaiting European regulatory approval. To raise cash for this purchase, we sold Fannie Mae (FNM) at a large short-term loss. Fannie Mae and the rest of the financials with exposure to mortgages should rebound at some point but it is difficult to time the turnaround. We lost significant money last year on Bank of Ireland (IRE) and selected Fannie Mae at $40 for SINLetter’s stock contest. We failed to time the entry again with our purchase of Fannie Mae (FNM) at $30.70 on 2/15/2008. Below are our updated stock positions:
