Cramer Doesn't Buy Nokia (NOK) Takeover Rumors

Article Stock Quotes (1) Comments (0)

After getting killed yesterday on the horrific news of an 10K additional jobs cuts, more restructuring and other general malaise, Nokia (NYSE: NOK) is up nearly 5 percent Friday as takeover speculation has bottom-fishers snapping up shares and shorts covering winning bets.

"It trades at 62% of its net asset values" some would say. "Its patents are worth more than Motorola Mobility's, which Google paid $12.8B for," others would comments. Still others would say, "Microsoft could easily buy it and make a killing."

Market maven Jim Cramer, however, is not buying it. Cramer said if Nokia does get bought out it would be a "take under," meaning a price lower than today's market price.
