Which leads me to ponder the moves Apple has made in the last week or so with their share split and announcement of 19B equity raise. Could they need they extra share count and cash to facilitiate a cash/share offer to PTK? Could the Special project Mansfield is heading up and the foundry they have sitting around doing nothing at the moment be earmarked for PTK?"
The above is overly optimistic. The foregoing is gross understatement.
If you believe the above, then I think you need to think again. AAPL could buy us without thinking twice, just for fun. The stock split, although talked about erroneously everywhere (not only on this board), has nothing to do with any desires by AAPL to acquire any company, their current shares and/or cash will do just fine for that.
