Constellation, Maybe Not Out For The Count (CEG)

Constellation_logo_2Constellation Energy (NYSE: CEG) may have found a savior.  Its US partner, France-based EDF, is reportedly considering making either a bid or at taking an increased stake.  This is also in the midst of EDF sweetening its bid for UK nuclear power operator British Energy. We would still urge that traders consider this more rumor than fact because of the current history of mergers being rather shoddy ones for shareholders.

There are different reports so you can see what they are reporting on FT.com site or WSJ. Either way, shares are responding in after-hours trading after yetanother crummy day. 

Constellation closed down 19% at $24.77 and sharesare back up 25% at $31.00 in after-hours trading.  Either way, this isan ugly performer for the year.  Its 52-week high is over $107.00.

Credit Card Companies Are Doing Something Nuts

Credit card companies are at war. The biggest issuers are handing out free rewards and benefits to win the best customers.

It’s possible to find cards paying unlimited 1.5%, 2%, and even more today. That’s free money for qualified borrowers, and the type of thing that would be crazy to pass up. Those rewards can add up to thousands of dollars every year in free money, and include other benefits as well.

We’ve assembled some of the best credit cards for users today.  Don’t miss these offers because they won’t be this good forever.

 

Flywheel Publishing has partnered with CardRatings for our coverage of credit card products. Flywheel Publishing and CardRatings may receive a commission from card issuers.
