I hate to bring this up but Asyst has done such a pathetic job of supporting their stock that a hostile takeover has become a real possibility. Does anyone know if there are any anti-takeover provisions in place? On the plus side: since the stock is below book, the more shares Asyst buys, the higher the book value goes. At these prices, a large stock buyback will do more for shareholder value than a strategic acquisition. Question is, can Asyst management see the obvious? Ken
