Gene, Now you've gotten the point, I selected GE since it is a $300B company with lots of petty cash laying around looking for something to buy, but any "mega" company could do a hostile takeover and conceivably generate a $10-15B windfall in 3-5 years. I wonder if KKR would do the deal, they like taking over companies by throwing money at the stockholders. I suspect that AMAT management will install some "Golden Parachute" tactics to protect themselves. This scenario could happen, the company's growth/profit potential is tremendous over the next 10 years. Maybe some long term LEAPS are looking good pretty soon! BB
