The Bloomberg follow ups appear to be arriving on a daily, if not hourly, basis at the moment.
Now, Betaville's arch rivals have published a fresh follow up to little old Betaville's intelligence alert about Ontex (https://www.betaville.co.uk/betaville-intelligence/uncooked-alert-ontex-said-to-part-3/) earlier this year...
I see arch rivals at Bloomberg have published another follow up to little old Betaville's UNCOOKED ALERT about Silicon Motion Technology Corporation.
Now hacks at Bloomie are suggesting MaxLinear Inc, a US-listed hardware business, is in talks to buy Silicon Motion Technology Corporation.
Below are the links to the Bloomie "scoop" in case you missed it and Betaville's UNCOOKED ALERT:..
Deal hacks at Bloomberg are back on it, pumping out M&A scoops galore over the last few weeks.
The latest tale from the arch rivals at the financial behemoth is about longstanding takeover target Temenos, the Switzerland-listed banking software company.
According to Bloomie, Thoma Bravo has rekindled its interest in Temenos and "expressed an interest" in buying the company via talks...
It would appear arch rivals at Bloomberg have followed up another Betaville Intelligence alert.
Yesterday, Bloomie reported Silicon Motion Technology Corporation, the US-listed semi conductor group, has appointed advisers to carry out a sale after receiving approaches from potential acquirers. Below is the link:..
Bain Capital, the private equity firm founded by former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, is "weighing a deal" for Solutions 30.
Well, that's according to Bloomberg hacks, who this evening revealed that the buy-out firm has been speaking with advisers about the potential investment in the embatted European technology services company, which been targeted by some the short seller types amid some very fruity allegations...
There was an odd headline story floating about on Bloomberg last week about easyJet, the London-listed budget airline that last September received a merger approach from Wizz Air.
Johan Lundgren, the boss of easyJet, was quoted on the record as saying easyJet "doesn't need an acquisition or partner".
But who said easyJet does need an acquisition or partner?..
The venerable Wall Street Journal's deals team dug out a corking scoop late on Friday night about technology giant Cisco making a $20 billion approach for the wonderfully named Splunk, the US-listed software business. Below is the link:

For some reason breaking big deal stories on a Saturday morning appears to be all the rage at the moment.
Last week it was The Sunday Times with its Unilever / GlaxoSmithKline mega scoop and this morning it is Bloomberg's turn with story about Vodafone looking at purcahsing Three UK from CK Hutchinson. Below is the link to Bloomie's tale:..
American financial media heavyweights TheWall Street Journal and Bloomberg were both claiming to have landed the scoop about Microsoft's $70 billion purchase of Activision Blizzard.
They both published within minutes of each other but because little old Betaville was lunching with a friendly flack it was hard to tell which media outfit published the scoop first...
