<<Rumour has it that VSH has got together a large stash of cash and is in the market to buy a large active semiconductor company, and the deal is near. I won't mention the names I have heard, but it will be a big one, and it will not IMO be positive short term to the stock price.>> I would bet (guess) that they are in the market for an IC company. It is a niche they are missing a strong position in within their broad product line. You may be right that a purchase will be seen as negative short term. But, as they said during the CC, the time to buy with cash is when stock prices are low. From a long term perspective, a near term purchase looks positive. Troy
