certainly deal people per stock value worth
Right now, with the value of (Boston Scientific) stock where it is, the deal is worth $79 (per share). I don't think J&J is going to come back and I certainly don't think they're going to come back with anything more than $76 per share. Most people think J&J is done with (Guidant) and gone.
boston clear complete money scientific
I think at the end of the day they just may get more money out of Boston Scientific. They've been very clear with Boston Scientific about what they have to do to complete that transaction.
board excited giving realized time weight
I think they probably thought they were giving (Guidant) the board more time (to weight the offer). When they realized they were giving J&J more time, they weren't so excited about that.
coming deal expect good johnson plenty together
Johnson & Johnson is negotiating in public, and that's never a good sign. We don't expect them to get the deal done immediately, but there are plenty of opportunities for the deal to come together over the coming months.
deem
This is a knock-your-socks-off offer. I don't see how they could not deem it superior.
certain given license original poetic
There's a certain poetic license to $76, given that was the original J&J bid.
