Right on the mark, Jack!
BTW, Robert Eaton didn't sell anything to anybody. He presented a
proposition to the shareholders...you know, those folks who actually own the
company...THEY made the decision to merge (same with DB). And if I'm not
mistaken, the federal govt. has very limited say in mergers between foreign
and domestic companies....only when they are both domestic can they shake a
big stick.
For my money, if CC gonna merge with someone, thank god it was
Daimler....nobody else comes close...IMHO.
