Yesterday EEtimes.com published two conflicting rumors about Magma:

   "There are already rumors of possible acquisitions by Cadence as part
    of the restructuring.  One rumor has Cadence acquiring Magma.  This
    move has merit, it would be a far better marriage than the Cadence-
    Mentor one, even if it would result in almost instant layoffs."

and from the same article:

   "Talking about Magma, the rumor of the week is that the company might
    be taken private by a group of investors that includes Rajeev
    Madhavan, its founder, Chairman and CEO.  This is a move that could
    be followed by a reorganization or a sale or merger."

It's interesting what people will talk about when your stock that had once
hovered around $15 a share now trades at around $1 a share.
