Juniper stock is up on renewed takeover chatter that Ericsson is interested.

I think Nokia is another great buy at this point, ... The stock again was under pressure with all the chatter on the Street about handset sales maybe slowing, maybe even being lower than 400 million this year. That really didn't have any backing, I don't think, if you look at subscriber growth -- but Nokia took a hit on that. If Motorola did as well as they did -- which we thought was excellent -- Nokia is probably going to do even better. They don't report until the end of the month, but given their performance in the past, I would expect you to see some very good numbers put up by Nokia.

It is unlikely that bondholders would get utterly buried in a takeover. There is a lifeline, in the form of covenants.

It is indeed true that the stock market can forecast the business cycle.

We're trying to prepare for Wal-Mart, ... We wanted someone interested in the store, not the stock price. We were intrigued with AWI (Associated Wholesalers), a true cooperative owned by its store-customers. We started buying off them in September-October of last year and the more business we did, the more we liked them.
