Very quiet low volume, mostly spent in a tight range. We got quite a few scalps, decent 1:3 on IWM and took couple small stops. All in all, honest day's work.

[09:21] {RonS} Egyptian maker of Twinkies said to consider IPO
01[09:21] {@Threei} finally
[09:21] {RonS} lol
01[09:22] {@Threei} AT&T announced it would buy DirecTV for $95/shr in stock and cash in a deal valued at $67.1B.
01[09:22] {@Threei} Pfizer announced it is raising the cash component in its $117B bid for AstraZeneca to £55/shr (or 45% from 33% in the initial offer)
01[09:23] {@Threei} The blockbuster announcements are dwarfing a $1B acquisition of a video game streaming site Twitch by Google. An update on the GE-Siemens bidding war for Alstom may enter a new phase as early as this week, with Siemens reportedly preparing a formal offer to counter GE.

01[09:32] {@Threei} Ryanair Holdings plc Reports FY14 Net €523M v €515Me, Rev €5.04B v €5.01Be - Guides initial FY15 Net €580-620M v €634Me - Guides FY14 average fares +2% y/y, traffic 84.6M passengers (+4% y/y), load factor 85% (+2% y/y) - Plans €500M special dividend in Q4 FY15 subject to AGM approval
01[09:33] {@Threei} Comments: - While disappointing that profits fell 8% to €523m due mainly to a 4% decline in fares, weaker sterling, and higher fuel costs, we reacted quickly to this weaker environment last September by lowering fares and improving our customer experience which caused H2 traffic to grow 4% as load factors rose 1%. Ancillary revenues grew 17%, much faster than traffic growth, and now accounts for 25% of total revenues.
