14:31 VSH Vishay: Somewhat cautious on dilution potential of new share class - Thomas Weisel (15.39 -0.37) -Update- Thomas Weisel notes that yesterday VSH unveiled plans to issue a new class of shares, Class C. They believe this action is being taken to set the co up for potential large acquisition, while protecting the effective voting control of the founder. VSH has long talked about making a sizable acquisition in the semiconductor space, which firm discussed in detail in a report last August. This filing indicates to them the that VSH is still contemplating a large acquisition, but that it has shifted its financing strategy from one involving mainly cash and debt to one involving mainly equity and some cash. While they have been supportive of the co's announced desire to make a large semiconductor acquisition, they view this latest development somewhat cautiously, as the co appears to have shifted in favor of using equity to pay for an acquisition.

The second option is to "Look for Trouble" The fiery Zorba the Greek says, "Life is trouble. Only death is not. To be alive means to buckle our belt and look for trouble." But that means change and change--even change meant to improve our lives--creates stress. That’ why we avoid new experiences and tough choices. If we decided we do not want to "be there" in our present vocation, then we need to "get out". The ultimate tragedy, as Oliver Wendell Homes has said, is that many people go to their graves with the music still in them. We have a song, dream, and vision in our hearts, but we have never acted on it. We choose to live in a dream world and never take the step to change. Some of the saddest phrases in the English language are "if only," or "it might have been." Many people use these phrases because they can’t take the first step. They are paralyzed by fear. geocities.com
