NDS Deal Closes



The deal to take NDS private finally passed its last hurdle today. I last bought back into the stock on 19th December at $49. The takeover price is $63. I plan to redeploy some of the funds freed up in my Interactive Brokers account. I've been holding NDS in my Ameritrade account.
