Can you imagine if Nikon or Canon bought Leica? It could happen.

I have been quite busy and have not been following Leica stock like I usually do. Today I had a chance to take a look at it, and the picture is not good. As I recall, a couple months ago Leica was at about 13 or 15 Euros, now it is a 8 and some change. What this means is that Leica stock has lost, at least, one third of it's value in the past couple months. And, it was down last week again over 11%. That is not good. Imagine your house loosing 30% to 40% of it's value in a couple months. You can look at the data yourself at: http://profiles.wisi.com/profiles/scripts/cos01.asp?cusip=C28084720
