Do something positive with all that cash? Buying Cambridge wasn't positive? They just bought themselves instant credibility and a guaranteed review by every hifalutin' audio reviewer. And entre' into a much larger market (home and mobile audio) that Cambridge could be a major player in. (Save for previous lack of capital.) Cambridge has the credentials - they just needed the backing. On the other hand, there could be some nervousness about Creative moving into this highly-competitive market, since they have had their sound card market practically all to themselves. Has anyone here carefully studied the HIFI acquisition from a financial viewpoint, though? I'll admit that I haven't. I'd hate to think that there was an obvious reason for the drop over the past few days that we have missed. How has this acquisition impacted their financial ratios, etc.? I am not all that big on a stock buyback, as that doesn't really do anything productive. The only buyback that would be meaningful would be a one-shot buyback of all of the shares still held by Chay and Ng. And maybe toss-in ML - the hell with them. :)
