Shark Watcher & Shark Watching Explained

A Shark Watcher is a firm that specializes in the early detection of takeovers by monitoring trading patterns in a client’s stock. Shark Watching is a term that is very similar to “blood in the water”, which is a situation that occurs when a company’s share price is beaten down by a combination of factors – business problems, management problems or financial problems. The low share price (the blood in the water) attracts potential acquirers which are called sharks.
