See my comments on CKXE (up 7% today already) which is being bought out at 12 dollars a share and is still under 7 dollars

In a recent post about Value Creation or Destruction , we had highlighted Angelica ( AGL ) as a company that in my opinion, was failing to create shareholder value and was consequently, subject to shareholder activism. We had cited Pirate Capital's involvement in the stock.
As we had pointed out, free cash flow had been negative for three of the last five years as a result of increasing capex intensity. The resultant returns on invested capital have not been encouraging with the last two years just between 1% and 1.6%.
Yesterday, Pirate filed another 13-D with an interest...

For a Long-Term Dividend Play and Total Return, Go with AGL
By Brandon Clay Sometimes investors forget about stodgy and consistent stocks, but these should be prized characteristics. Take AGL Resources (AGL), for example. The company would hardly be considered “sexy” by the Wall Street crowd. AGL is a natural gas utility serving customers in six US states. Not very exciting, yes, but Georgia-based AGL is 153 years old. Any company with a century-and-a-half of longevity has staying power. Not coincidentally, AGL provides consistent dividends.
