I posed the same question a few weeks ago on another COMS thread. I got no answer but I did some investigation on my own. I contacted S&P, but they were no help. Because the S&P 500 is Market Cap-weighted, IMHO the index funds would be forced to sell (or not buy for a while, depending on money inflows into the fund) a little of the other 499 issues and double up on COMS to bring the fund into the proper ratio. I don't know how much of 3Com is owned by index funds, but they will have to increase their number of shares by a factor to match the capitalization change. Though not official until tomorrow, I suspect that the fund managers have been accumulating shares the past few weeks in anticipation of the merger, though they may have more to go. Nonetheless, it certainly won't hurt!
