Takeovers and mergers.

After reading this from a related industry and looking at their P/Es,
it makes you wonder if anyone is taking a close look at American Eco
and getting tempted.

USA WASTE SERVICES INC (UW 35 1/4) has agreed to acquire United Waste
Systems Inc. (UWST 37 5/8) in a stock swap merger valued at $1.7
billion. According to USA Waste, the combined company will have
about $2.1 billion in annualized revenue and total assets of more
than $4.5 billion. The company will operate 155 landfills, 270
collection companies, and 153 transfer stations, serving over three
million customers in North America.

UW $35 1/4 Earn/Shr = 0.24 P/E = 146.88
UWST $37 5/8 Earn/Shr = 0.88 P/E = 42.76

ECGOF $7 1/2 Earn/Shr = 0.81 P/E = 8.61
