Sounds good, Eric. I don't see any downside except
that you should not expect the lmt share price to stay
where it is. In recent years, it seems almost to be a
rule of thumb that when a big company acquires another
big company, the acquiring company suffers a case of
indigestion and their stock goes down. Often their
stock begins going down even before the signs of
indigestion appear. Examples include NSM after
acquiring Cyrix, Compaq after acquiring DEC, and many
more that others are more familiar with. Investors
appear to be skeptical that these "marriages" will
be successful -- at least in the short run.

If I were in your shoes, I might consider buying put
options to lock in the value of the lmt shares you will
eventually acquire.

Good luck!
