Sallie will be sold to a consortium of two private equity firms - JC Flowers and Friedman Fleischer &amp;amp; Lowe - and two banks that have their own student loan businesses - JP Morgan and Bank of America - for some $60 a share, or $25 billion. That represents a premium of almost 50 percent based on Sallie's stock price before word of the deal began to leak.</description><pubDate>Mon, 16 Apr 2007 18:00:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Dow jumps 100 on deals</title><link>http://money.cnn.com/2007/04/16/markets/markets_0130/index.htm</link><guid>http://money.cnn.com/2007/04/16/markets/markets_0130/index.htm</guid><description>The Dow held onto a near 100-point gain as the stock market eased slightly in early afternoon after posting strong gains straight after the open, fueled by a solid start to the earnings season and deals for Sallie Mae and DoubleClick.</description><pubDate>Mon, 16 Apr 2007 17:33:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Deals drive the Dow</title><link>http://money.cnn.com/2007/04/16/markets/markets_1130/index.htm</link><guid>http://money.cnn.com/2007/04/16/markets/markets_1130/index.htm</guid><description>The Dow jumped about 100 points Monday as a solid start to the earnings reporting period and deals for Sallie Mae and DoubleClick fueled a powerful rally on Wall Street.</description><pubDate>Mon, 16 Apr 2007 15:17:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Deals let loose the bulls</title><link>http://money.cnn.com/2007/04/16/markets/markets_1035/index.htm</link><guid>http://money.cnn.com/2007/04/16/markets/markets_1035/index.htm</guid><description>Major deals for Sallie Mae and DoubleClick fueled a stock rally Monday as investors also digested a stronger-than-expected reading on March retail sales.</description><pubDate>Mon, 16 Apr 2007 15:00:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Sallie Mae may be in buyout talks</title><link>http://money.cnn.com/2007/04/13/news/companies/sallie_mae/index.htm</link><guid>http://money.cnn.com/2007/04/13/news/companies/sallie_mae/index.htm</guid><description>Sallie Mae, the largest U.S. student loan company, might be in talks for a private equity buyout worth more than $20 billion.</description><pubDate>Fri, 13 Apr 2007 11:06:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>How to find a home or get a college loan</title><link>http://money.cnn.com/2007/01/19/pf/saving/toptips/index.htm</link><guid>http://money.cnn.com/2007/01/19/pf/saving/toptips/index.htm</guid><description>Question 1: Next year, we'll be in the market for a home.
