Deal Du Jour: Emerson Acquiring Avocent For $1.2 Billion
N/A

And the deal machine rolls on.

Emerson Electric (EMR) this morning announced a deal to acquire Avocent (AVCT), a Huntsville, Alabama based producer of IT management hardware and software, for $1.2 billion in cash, or $25 a share. (Among other things, they make LANDesk, a software updating system which periodically pops up and forces me to reboot my laptop. Maybe Emerson can find a way to make the software less irritating.)  Avocent had 2008 sales of $657 million.

The deal is expected to close around January 1.

    Introducing Ben’s New Portfolio

    moneyMany of you will recall that I used to track a portfolio here on ModernGraham.  Unfortunately, the last time I checked the portfolio was November 6, 2006.  As a result, I’ve decided to start over.  This mock portfolio will be based on $100,000, and will be entirely based on companies I feel strongly about and strategies I have in mind.  On the first Thursday of every month, I plan on reviewing the portfolio and making any changes that seem necessary.

    You can see the portfolio in this google spreadsheet.
