Just finished reading my way through all of today's posts. As someone who thought NOK would be the buyer and supported that view, I now find myself very happy to have been wrong. In fact, looking back on my thinking on this matter and comparing it to what I have read today, I find myself somewhat in awe of critical thinking I find on this thread much of the time. My way of saying I deeply appreciate the contribution you are all making to my understanding of the game we are all participating in.

$300,000,000 x .06 = $18,000,000 $18,000,000 / 165 million = .11 / share. So I get 11 cents from interest. As someone who made the same mistake this summer (and was soundly chastised for it! <g>)...note that you're calculating pre-tax income. I would instead calculate: $300M x 6.5% = $19.5M = .118/share pretax .118 x .62 (38% tax) = .073/share ...closer to the estimate provided. Closer still if 194M outstanding share figure (including employee options) is used instead. -Rose-
