I should have bought me some AG Edwards stock last year.
Wachovia Corp. said Thursday it would acquire A.G. Edwards Inc. for $6.8 billion in cash and stock in a deal to form one of the largest retail stock brokerages in the United States.
Wachovia said A.G. Edwards shareholders would get 0.9844 Wachovia shares and $35.80 in cash for each A.G. Edwards share held. That offer values A.G. Edwards at $89.50 per share based on Wednesday's closing prices, a 16 percent premium.
One day, we'll miss AG Edwards like we miss Boatmen's. They were good names, back in the day. I wonder if we should buy some land in Charlotte? Hey - I own a Charlotte domain!
