I had to take a double take when I saw this headline...

L-3 to buy Titan for $2 billion

So how do I sell one of my Titans for that...   :p

Sorry, should have added something to explain.

Here is the start of the story:
L-3 Communications Holdings Inc., a maker of satellite and marine communication equipment, said Friday that it is buying defense contractor Titan Corp. for nearly $2 billion in a cash deal that will give it a major stake in servicing U.S. military and intelligence agencies.


and here is a link to one of the articles:

L-3 to buy Titan for $2 billion

Yep,that was part of what caught my eye. L3 and L4 so close, Titan, and bought all in the same headline.  :o

Course, it was just some take over news.  :D

Hi DS,

Titan is a moon of one of the planets in our solar system... I seem to recall that it is a sattelite of Jupiter, but I am probably mistaken... definitely a planetary sattelite (moon) though...

*** Maybe Saturn? ***

Shabbat Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

...But then again if they WERE to build an actual titan I have no doubt that a price tag of 2 billion would be appropriate (and even on the cheap side)

Cheers! :)

Yup, Saturn, and it's the only moon in the solar system with an atmosphere. The Huygens probe landed on it some months ago.
So L4, is L3 your big brother?  :p

2 billion?  For a Titan?  Dirt cheap, I say.  Since one of our steath bombers costs, what, 500 mill or so?  I say the cost would be MUCH higher to build one.  :p

my 2cents,

Hi Guys,

I actually read the article and the "Titan" in questions seems to be an Aerospace Manufacturing company... :p

Shabbat Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
