lt cap,

Not that anyone would necessarily know, and not that it matters at this point, but it's curious to me why NOK shares jump 3.5% on news that isn't a surprise at all (enough shares to follow through with their takeover). Had been warming myself up to the idea of accumulating more in the low 7's - good luck with that, lol. I know that in the larger time-framed picture, 3% isn't of consequence. Perhaps NOK is entering that 'black hole' of beta that INFN and CIEN are always in (my God, but the sell-down in CIEN has been brutal - and with no positive catalysts that I can see for a while.) At least I hope the date that they stole..um, I mean - 'acquired' those shares was before today's rise. And I hope NOK keeps a small, but nice, dividend, as that would be an extra bonus over the years.

The one question I do have is this, altho it seems rather naive: What is the sector that NOK, Ericsson, and Haiweu (sp) will divide among themselves.? Doesn't sound like a clean op net play ('cept for the ALU component, and Cisco partnering with Ericsson), but I'm not quite clear what it is they compete over - Handsets?
