    Enough w/ the buy out. It is not in the making for now. It would have happened already. BBY management is not interested, & investors are not interested. @ $24 like in August offer from Schulze, who in their right mind wants to buy a company with a treacherous Future at a 33% premium (as of today's $18 share price). I think BBY is a JCP in the making for its stock price. A solid impressive run up, & huge crash lower than ever within the same year. All this bullishness for BBY makes no sense because it is all for the wrong reasons, all speculation. When people are going to start to sell, the fall is going to be very quick.
