P.M. - It's not my style to introduce buyout speculation - but CHKPF would definitely seem like a good candidate for one at current levels - especially in light of all the consolidation in the security arena in recent months. CHKPF trading at $40 might have been a little harder to justify for buyout - but CHKPF at $28 plus a buyout premium does seem fair for a company with such a dominant presence in the security arena. We'll see - if the stock begins to move prior to earnings - that'll be why - buyout speculation. -Jay
