don't mind risk at the right price. will make a decision in the next couple of days. take your point that the market is saying 68% chance of success, however downside is limited somewhat even if the deal doesn't go through I would say, i.e. so if there is 68% chance of upside, then there is 32% chance of downside, but the upside is greater than the downside. Seems like a good bet therefore...

hi crackpot - ha yes, I have left the mac guys alone for a bit and moved on to more positive things. will be back when I am ready to short it, which shouldn't be too far away...in the meantime, prefer companies that actually make money!
