What do you want to bet they've done some due diligence on the merger :) They'd have to if they added after the announcement. And based on the report Curtis posted, they're obviously not selling --- a good vote of confidence. Right now our only problem is the market itself. I've stripped my portfolio down to my core holding in SDLI and a new position in AMAT. And apart from some long-term invalids and a basket of tiny IPO positions, I have a clean slate. By the time I get nervous, you know the market's ready to rebound. <g> Pat
