FredE,
I may have a foul mouth, but I'm a funny and honest guy. Your threats cannot stop me from talking about the facts.
Thanks for turning off the 'rant' mode. It's obvious that most don't respond to well to 'rants' - especially if certain forms of language are used, people are defamed or racial slurs are indicated. I'm sure you might be a funny guy, but you're quite capable of supporting your argument without offending others. No threats were made on my part, just suggestions of the thought that another poster pointed out certain legal actions being taken against some SI members.
I do realize that BRCM wanted a division in Israel, but I still don't "get" the price paid. VT does not have that much IPR that I am aware of?
Yes, that would be the appropriate place to begin your search for the reason. I think you'll find more under the hood than the first glance, two or three catches. In terms of the price, acquisitions always appear 'expensive' on the front side because it is difficult at best to calculate the return on investment both in the short, intermediate and long term. Likewise, it's never easy to gauge on the front end if a particular investment by a company via acquisition might not offer the best return for the expense.
