I know titans go for a lot on ebay, but $2 billion?  But seriously, what does "Titan" mean in this headline? |

Sorry, should have added something to explain. Here is the start of the story: L-3 Communications Holdings Inc., a maker of satellite and marine communication equipment, said Friday that it is buying defense contractor Titan Corp. for nearly $2 billion in a cash deal that will give it a major stake in servicing U.S. military and intelligence agencies. | |||

Yep,that was part of what caught my eye. L3 and L4 so close, Titan, and bought all in the same headline.  Course, it was just some take over news. dafrca |

...But then again if they WERE to build an actual titan I have no doubt that a price tag of 2 billion would be appropriate (and even on the cheap side) Cheers!

Titan is a moon of one of the planets in our solar system... I seem to recall that it is a sattelite of Jupiter, but I am probably mistaken... definitely a planetary sattelite (moon) though... *** Maybe Saturn? *** Shabbat Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. | |||

2 billion? For a Titan? Dirt cheap, I say. Since one of our steath bombers costs, what, 500 mill or so? I say the cost would be MUCH higher to build one. my 2cents, iblisdrax |

Hi Guys, I actually read the article and the "Titan" in questions seems to be an Aerospace Manufacturing company... Shabbat Shalom, Maksim-Smelchak. |
