OT - ALU - Holy smokes - for a minute there, I thought that switching to firefox from chrome finally let me copy or cut and paste here - not so :-( Le's me paste in the 'title' section, but not in the body.) So I can't give you links to some useful stories - one elaborating on Rodd's noting the abuse of GAAP vs. non-GAAP numbers (one had the worst 10 stock offenders - EA not on it - but PANW has posted postitive results for about 10 straight quarters thaat turn into losses when GAAP is used, and some people starting to take notice.

Another at Investopedia - pretty good article recapping the risks/rewards to ALU-NOK merger. Another article cited the ALU-NOK deal should close around mid-2016 - so lt. cap.'s 'long term investment' tag seems quite right - I don't see how it would become clear what synergies were working and what the bumps in the merger road are before it actually occurs. One note pointed out that, regardless, there is likely to be more consolidation in the market and ALU-NOK might have the advantage of integration being underway sooner. (Or is that 'you go first' when jumping off a building? Just kidding.)

Any day now I will figure out why I'm the only person who cannot seem to cut and paste links.
