I have been expecting to see ELY sold ever since Ely Callaway died on Juely 5, 2001.

The five year chart is pretty depressing:

Note the precipitous 40% drop in mid-2001 when Ely died.

I used to golf 30 or 35 times a year until I gave it up cold four years ago. I generally shot in the upper 90s, so I don't qualify as an expert. I had a set of Taylor Made clubs and a Big Bertha driver. I loved that driver. My lowest round was a 91. I used to be able to recount every single shot for that round.

Sports apparel is a tough business. Sports stocks in general are tough.

Another contribution to the thread: Instinet (INGP). Reuters has been trying to sell them off for two or three years. Archipelago is said to be interested:

If INGP is sold, I would not expect to see much of a premium.
