AVNT. There is an interesting article in the newest EE-Times talking about AVNT's Apollo. Someone at CDN (Jim Douglas) is quoted as saying that he doesn't believe that Apollo will be enjoined, but that they are looking forward to analyzing the code. Also, Gary Smith, the EDA analyst from Dataquest is quoted as saying that AVNT continues to win most of the new orders in P&R in the EDA industry. Pretty interesting dynamics in this one. IMOO. Happy New Year.

Why does a short have to justify himself/herself? Do shorts feel guilty making money because they recognize a stock price that doesn't represent value? If AVNT longs are "innocent shareholders" what are the shorts? The Avant! shareholders, with the exception of honest employees who get compensation in the form of paper, are looking to make as much money as possible for themselves apparently at the expense of Cadence Design. If AVNT executives go to jail , would the longs who bought in the teens and sold in the thirty dollar range donate their money to charity or feel remorse in any way???? M. Carter, you are hereby given immunity to all guilty feelings you may have from any short position in AVNT.
