I think there's a red line where institutions will start dumping the stock while calling for it to be sold so they can get out of the company with their skin still on. Sun's software assets have been tainted by the various open source licenses so there's nothing they're holding which you can't already have if you're willing to run the gamut of IP licensing. Their SPARC business is all but dead.Besides being one of the best community builders in the industry I have no idea what I'd be buying if I bought Sun. If Sun are smart they'll sell to Fujitsu, a company who have coveted them for years. Sun keep proving they're not that smart so I expect things to get even more embarrassing.At this stage, and just like SGI or Cray, it's nothing but ego which is keeping them moving.</p> A couple of things could happen here but I’ve been keeping my eye on the market cap Vs the amount of cash they’re sitting on.
