The takeover rumor may be exaggerated. After all, the marketwatch article cited the Jul and Aug 20 contracts. But those contracts are almost worthless. The 1600 Aug contracts the report cited has a value of only 50,000 total. Well that isn't much money. Not the kind of money to draw any speculative conclusions. That could easily be just a speculative individual investor taking out a wild play. In fact, he may bought the contracts and then proceeded to start the buyout rumor. :) I'm not saying a takeover isn't possible, just that the article really didn't substantiate it. Dale
