Nelson Peltz offered to buy Family Dollar Stores (NYSE: FDO), which drove the stock nearly 20% higher last week. Several class actions suits were filed by investors who believed the price was too low. That did little to cap FDO’s rise.
AMD (NYSE: AMD) was the subject of takeover rumors, which several analysts said were far fetched. That did not keep Wall St. from pushing shares higher.
Dell (NASDAQ) rose due to strong earnings and chip company NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA) moved up on investor excitement over the firm’s renewed efforts to gain market share in the portable device market
