Saturday 25 July 2026 at 20:18
Visible to anyone in the world
What is a white knight — and why it matters. A white knight is a friendly acquirer that steps in to rescue a company from a hostile takeover. They offer a better deal — and the target company's management actually wants them to win. Why it matters: A white knight signals a bidding war. The stock can run twice — once on the hostile bid, once on the white knight. This is what we teach in Module 5.2 — How to Find the Catalyst in Trading. https://youtu.be/103IXuqOpkE
