Hi Bobcat,

I wouldn't worry too much about the disclaimer at the end
of each of their press releases. They need to do that for
legal reasons anyway - lest one of their shareholders sue
them. Your point about hyping is well taken. I have simply
held the shares in as much as I thought that the company
had underlying value. They are now at a PE of 14. That's
still ok by me. The reason I look at PE is because the stock
price will still seem reasonable if any takeover falls through.

I don't know why they are not disclosing who the bidder is.
In most takeovers, we know who the bidder is. I don't think
that it is because there is no serious bidder. If that were
the case, then DLJ would not go anywhere near this one.
Even they would quit the job if they thought that the bid
was baseless. Remember, some of this is due process. A company
needs to be careful so as not to get caught in a class action
suit in order to take a bid.

Like I said, if you think that a PE of 14 is too much, then
get out - takeover or not. I just wish that the press releases
were more informative. By the way, I don't think the close at
19 today means anything because it was on low volume.
