GOOD NEWS!!! I like it!!

My observations.........

1. Isn't the market efficient!!!
Take SFAM current stock price and multiply the .71, and what do you get? Answer, IPEC current stock price, what an amazing coincidence.

2. I think this is a good deal for both companies, and I expect both
stocks to rise tomorrow as a result.

3. I agree with you about "next stop, NVLS buyout"
A. Rick Hill is already on SFAM board.
B. IPEC is already part of the copper solutions group with NVLS.
C. NVLS wants to continue to broaden its product line similar to AMAT.
D. With NVLS current stock price being significantly higher in
price to sales, price to book, price to cash, etc., a stock deal by NVLS can offer SFAM-IPEC a nice premium, an not be dilutive to NVLS in these ways.

4. My disclosure: I own NVLS and SFAM (no IPEC), and wouldn't mind
getting into some more NVLS cheap via SFAM.
