| Welcome to Finance Insider, Business Insider's summary of the top stories of the past 24 hours. It's another merger Monday, with two chunky takeovers announced this morning. Bass Pro Shops is acquiring rival Cabela's for $5.5 billion, while Janus Capital and Henderson Global Investors are teaming up in a $6 billion merger.
Also, no you're not imagining things. Allergan does seem to be striking a deal a week. The latest isn't a takeover but it could still cost more than $1 billion.
