As to the timing of the upgrades, I do expect a sale of the company, but I don't think there is a direct connection with the recent analyst upgrades. Do you? I did see an article somewhere this morning that there tends to be a spate of buyouts around the time of the upcoming annual JPM investors' conference (which is this coming Monday). (While skeptical, I hope you are right about the $40 price tag!) Good luck! -Fritz
