Did you know that the billionaire who just invested in Bear Stearns is a close friend of the CEO? How convenient.<BR/><BR/>What do you think of the debt though? I hate convertibles. My biggest holding, Ciena is being held down by the $38.15 convertible ceiling - those hedgies love to short the common on these stocks with outstanding convertibles.TraderMarkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06241756200482130281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2335748440449035592.post-51435346853661320162007-09-12T14:27:00.000-04:002007-09-12T14:27:00.000-04:00This deal is a done deal yet, but it should go down pretty soon.
