John, I would agree that PERI is a likely takeover candidate and there are numerous possible suitors. PERI can compliment a lot of different businesses and the possibilities are intriguing. With its current market cap and earnings in the plus side it is a no-brainer. Even at 11 and change it is cheap compared to the companies who might buy it. I was originally attracted to PERI because I thought it was a bargain. I've had other stocks like CHPS and ALRN bought out by larger players. The only wrench in the works would be an earnings disappointment Thursday. Best Wishes, Timoteo
