The key factor contributed to today's sell-off is not merging itself but is the fact that PASW miss the estimate a lot. But I think 43% decline is enough punishment. It is ususally a slow quarter. For the merging, I view it positively: now RATL has a whole OO development environment from design, development to testing. PASW's technology is very good: clearCase and purify etc. are good tools for large-scale product development. Their management might have problem. Now they are integrated into RATL's strong management and marketing force. I believe this merge is a plus. JAVA is also a OO language. It is necessary to have a environment for JAVA to be a mainstream product development language. But RATL/PASW is the leader in the area. It may still have some downside risk but I think it is a definite buy opportunity.
