Portfolio Managers have employees and computers tracking extremely rare volume movements and buy in dozens or hundreds of companies with these rarities and if the movements go back to normal then they sell and it only takes one to make millions of dollars in two weeks or less.
Many Financial Advisors sell this information and they will alert you in real time when these rarities happen and also when to sell if they were false alarms.

If you had known anything before the public announcement, it would have been considered "insider trading" and illegal. Many people (and one mutual fund, the Merger Fund) guess about which companies are likely to merge or be taken over, but they don't "know."
