Disappointing finish to a fabulous run. From TSC: When Cisco in May agreed to pay $5.7 billion for ArrowPoint (ARPT:Nasdaq - news), a similar Web switching company, that price included a whopping 50% premium. Using another measure: Cisco paid more than $25 million per employee for Arrowhead. This is often a metric used to gauge the value of the transaction, especially in highly technical fields where engineering brainpower is in such fantastic demand. Nortel, which set an industry high-water mark of $36 million per employee in March with its purchase of optical-switching developer Xros, will actually fork over a measly $15.6 million per Alteon employee. But yes, we could have ended up in worse hands. NT is a company I'll be happy to own shares in. Congratulations to those who hung in there for two awful months this spring!
