Paul, only you could see the Alchemy acquisition as a negative.

Constantine, all acquisitions have to be looked at with a "show me" attitude. If the company being acquired is that good, why do they need to be acquired? It is not easy to integrate a new company, that might be remotely located, and most probably has a different culture, into the fold. That's not even getting to addressing the match re products. You can ask companies like IBM, Intel and Cisco about companies they bought that didn't work out at all.

At best, acquisition of a company is a wait and see situation. Also, was it a friendly buyout?
