Speculating about speculation

Some time back I did a post about takeover candidates in the telco mutual annihilation sweepstakes, and identified a number of stocks which I thought might see a tailwind from this process. Here's an update on their performance as of 30 minutes ago, based on month-to-date performance in euro. Saunalahti was already the subject of speculation at the time I picked it, but has since received a trumping bid from Elisa. Ch-ching!
