I am looking for a service/website (preferably subscription based) that highlights merger + buyout activity across US, CA + EU markets, ideally in the form of a daily/weekly newsletter. I would be interested in the details of the deals (total volume, cash %, stock % etc.), a list of requirements to be fulfilled (votes, regulatory etc.) and updated current status of the deal with deadline. I did my homework GOOGling around but couldn't come up with anything. Anybody know of a similar service? Wouldn't even mind if it's part of a bigger package, e.g. a news service provider. Thanks.
Would either of these help? http://tradethenews.com/ http://theflyonthewall.com/splashPage.php?action=main&arg=A
That's a good start thank you. I take it there is no specialized "subscription" service outlining current M&A activity. News services tend to report "A buys B for $2bln in cash" and that's it.. with inconsistent follow up. I would love a specialized service that highlights the current deals and I can drill into each deal and check financial details, history and outlook until it closes and is finalized. Anybody else?

If you have access to a BB terminal they have a set a features regarding M&A but it's been years since I used those commands... you could get real time MA news on there though. Thanks, TNG
Merger Insight, by Wall Street Access, is an institutional research product that is excellent. I don't know the cost, but they may give an individual a semi-affordable price. You can read some sample reports here: http://www.wsaccess.com/
