Carl at $10 a share.....it will cost about $300MM to buy TRKN....that's alot of money!! I'm sure Dobson would like to see TRKN higher than $13 before he sells his 4MM shares. If I recall, I think that's the price he got them at in the buyout. Plus, if someone buys TRKN....I doubt they will pay cash...they will use their own bloated stock. With the dilution and no earnings from TRKN....the buying company may get punished. I think AMAT would not be a buyer, they can certianly afford them but AMAT and Electrotech have run into each other before for aquisition purposes and Dobson came out hating them!! So the deal would have to be real sweet for TRKN to sell to AMAT. LRCX has 30MM shares and a market cap of $2B....it would be a big impact to them....especially with ONTK purchase recently. However, they did recently raise $300MM. KLAC has 51M shares and a market cap of 4B.....KLAC could fairly easily buy TRKN.....Question is do they want to get away from their core business. AMAT recently got into their business....so maybe they are thinking of getting into AMAT's business...who knows?? I don't think NVLS can afford them> dave dave
