Here at OddLotArbitrage.com we source our odd lot tender offer announcements directly from the SEC’s EDGAR database. Using Edgar to find specific filings can be like trying to find a specific straw of hay in a haystack, which inspired us to summarize our research for public use here.
Another tool an investor can use to receive up to date notifications on ongoing odd lot tender offers is Google Alerts.
Google Alerts is a versatile tool that sends you an email notification whenever new web content is published with keywords you specify. This can be used to keep track of all kinds of special situation investment opportunity announcements, including odd lot tender offers.
You will need a Google account to configure Google Alerts, so if you don’t already have one set one up.
Walkthrough for Monitoring Odd Lot Tender Offers
- Go to Google Alerts
- Type the term you want to monitor the web for, select “Show Options”
- Set your preferences. These are mostly self-explanatory by looking at the choices in the drop down menus
- Select “Create Alert” to finalize and start receiving notifications
- Repeat for any other key words or phrases related to odd lot tender offers you are interested in
Example Setup
You’ll want to configure alerts for your keywords and related terms:
- Tender offer
- Start tender offer
- Commence tender offer
- Complete tender offer
- “odd lot” tender
This will look something like this once set up:
We’ve had mixed success using this method, which is why we still refer to Edgar. Alerts can still be useful to receive up to date notifications on developments on offers such as terms of completion. Be sure to follow us too to receive announcements and links to filings for new offers.
