FFIV: ... I glad you took advantage of it......
BTW what did you mean by a takeover rumor. An alliance was announced this AM with Akamai but I didn't hear of a takeover
Ted,
I was referring to this post yesterday on the FFIV thread. Have a look at Message 13719900
"First, it seems likely that Nortel Networks (NT, news, msgs) and Lucent Technologies (LU, news, msgs), Cisco?s two biggest networking competitors, will move to match the new capabilities that Cisco has acquired in this deal. That could mean a bid for one of the public intelligent-switch companies, such as Extreme Networks (EXTR, news, msgs), Foundry Networks, F5 Networks, or Alteon WebSystems. Only Foundry Networks, with a current market capitalization of $7.7 billion, might be called expensive, given the price tag Cisco put on ArrowPoint. The market capitalization for Extreme Networks is now just $3 billion, and Alteon WebSystems and F5 Networks would sell for even less."
This is of course very speculative information. Anyway, I don't know what exactly caused yesterday's and today's price action on this stock, but it does absolutely not matter as long as it moves UP.
