All mergers make smooth transition promises and plan beautiful futures. How many deliver on their plans? Look at the good will write offs, charges for head count reductions, and employee retention bonuses. Those big one time items don't add value to a stock.

This transition isn't going to be smoother then other well planned transitions. HP is a company with problems. They believe buying Compaq will solve those problems. Strategic acquisitions can help a company, but acquisitions do not solve problems. Acquisitions create a new set of challenges.

Smoothly run companies have a difficult time dealing with major acquisitions. When a company with problems makes a major acquisition, the acquisition challenges them and solves few problems. The result is an outside consulting company’s dream project.
