Kevin,

I don't think takeover hype normally has staying power but VLSI was strong all day and closed near it's intraday high. If today's move was based on hype, I would have expected selling to bring the stock down to at least the middle of the trading range.

LSI was the only stock in the SOX that was down today. I think this is highly unusual on a day when the SOX was up 10.12 points (4.3%) and several SOX stocks were up over a point. Smart money does not usually chase rumors that have no merit and smart money bought VLSI and sold LSI today. This is a big clue that there might be a link here.

I wouldn't want to be short under these circumstances and I sincerely hope that everything turns out ok for you. If VLSI is the subject of a takeover, I hope you will have covered your short by then or bought call options for protection.

Best of luck,

Dan
