Sun has periodically over the years bought it's own stock back when the price is low. This may help push up the price of the stock and is also used to give out stock to its employees.
I must say that I've read your previous entries on this subject and I still cannot imagine why Google would want to buy this vendor. I do not see how owning Sun would be an asset for Google that it couldn't (if it hasn't already) gone out and build their selves cheaper.
If Google was interested in a particular piece of technology that Sun owns, it would make more sense to go after just that piece. Sun has a lot of baggage which I am sure is not going to be useful to Google.

Have you noticed that SUNW stock always goes up when the European Union gets testy with Microsoft, as they are doing now? That alone may explain the surge in SUNW stock price.
If Google needs servers, why doesn't it just buy servers? It doesn't need to buy a worn-out company. If it needs developers, it can rent them from any number of India-based systems integration firms for [less than] $70/hour.
And, if McNeeley is manipulating the stock price in this regulatory environment he is more nuts than I've been led to believe.
Yes, I own a few shares of SUNW and I thank you all for driving up the price before I sell it.

Someone clicks an e-mail link and you have evidence of a buyout?
I hope you aren't holding or associated with SUN stock, SEC will not be kind. Remember Martha?

it is clear that Goog will buy Sun, go and do a few search on the net, take 5 minutes to mesh all the news and it's clear. For those who don't understand that, please go back to school!!!
