I noticed right away where SMH was trading after they announced it, from what I understand the push higher in SMH at this point doesnt make sense with TXN trading near after hour lows at $33.60, its falling after hours as I type this!!!!

They paid way tooo much for NSM, $6 billion+....

I don't know if they paid too much or not, thats subjective, what I have noticed the last couple weeks is acquiring companies are going up after they initially trade lower. Market is definitely happy with the buyers lately.

Market was happy back in 2007 at the peak when private equity and public companies were buying out company after company, we all know what happened next.

Thats what happens when you have easy money policies in place and everything is being re-inflated into the next stage of more asset bubbles!!!

Quite interesting to say the least, NSM doesnt make up any of the top 10 holdings yet SMH is still trading up over a $1.00 AH. Quite funny, TXN is the largest make up of this and its down at its lows of the day and yet it has no effect on SMH, quite funny, I guess will notice what really happens during the opening hours tomorrow.
