>>but costs are costs-- the ideal thing to do is buy something that will make money (isn't that right), or lose only a little before you become accretive.<<

Point well taken although one may miss opportunities where the lack of accretion in the beginning is made up and then some by the acquisition's contributions to earning finally blossoming later on.

>>Good luck to you.<<

Thanks, although I suspect I really don't need any more as I was already lucky when I bought CIEN in the single digits... (Thank you arbs...<g>) Not bragging, as it truly was luck-a daytrading position that just kept on looking more and more attractive after subsequent DD...

Wishing you the best of luck also...
