Still thinking that it won't happen on [Actions Semi]? I've heard that kind of myopic thinking on tons of past buyouts before they actually happen. As I said, with tech giants in the U.S. and Asia sitting on hoard of cash pile and [Actions Semi] ... in the 2nd biggest economy, of which consumption and capital investment are growing at unprecedented speed, I'll bet my house with these doubters any time.
