<<Even a busted money-losing tech stock like Lucent still has a market cap about twice what NEM will be when the merger is complete--and NEM turned profitable before the recent run-up in gold prices.>>

Exactly. They didn't get NDY cheap, but if the POG continues to move it will look like a VERY shrewd acquisition 3 months (or less) from now. The beauty of it is, as they sell off the NDY hedgebook it'll help support the POG. It's a virtruous cycle to be sure....
