    Ncc

    National City is looking for a buyer, not sure if it was a rumor i heard last week or truth. If the stock couldnt get a pop from a take over rumor no one cares about the additional windowfall from Visa, it is probably built into the stock price already. Look at EMC when the VMW IPO came...
