Who knows, Monitronics has managed to get some additional funding so
Protection One may also find some if the deal is right. The fact that the
top five security companies are all for sale doesn't suggest much confidence
in the industry.
Of course, before the top Tyco exec took off with the $600 million we all
thought Tyco would buy the other four.
Every company is up for sale if the price is right but ......
Tyco: Nobody knows if they will sell ADT or not, its all speculation, they
may sell parts of it or it's other security businesses
Protection One: Ruined by inept management and too rapid growth that IS up
for sale and will be sold either this month or next.
Brinks: Not up for sale at the moment, doubt if it will be anytime soon
Monitronics: Any talk of sale is speculation
Honeywell: They ARE for sale because Honeywell wants to concentrate on
manufacturing not because it's unprofitable (that I know of)
