What is a cash merger — and how to use it to spot a catalyst. A cash merger is when a buyer acquires a target using cash instead of stock. The target's shareholders get cash for their shares. Cash deals signal conviction. The buyer is putting real money on the table — so the deal is more likely to close. When it closes, the target stock moves toward the offer price. That's the catalyst. This is what we teach in Module 5.2 — How to Find the Catalyst in Trading. https://youtu.be/266cccM2t3g
