IMHO,it would not surprise me at all to see both achieve those targets you stated and perhaps a bit higher for CPQ. HWP will go up because of the perceived recovery in the economy with subsequent increase in sales etc. CPQ will also go up keeping the arb difference about where it is now or close it slightly unless some news comes out because it isn't that long before the vote. If the merger happens the arb closes, HWP goes through re-evaluation, CPQ follows with price following share exchange rate with HWP's new evaluation. If merger fails. KABOOM. Managements were out of their minds, the moral of both companies are shot, Moodys and S & P do/threaten to do vile things, prices crumble due to lack of confidence in management, what else is going on behind the scene that isn't mentioned... should I go on? I am not sure how long it would take for recovery but I assume until proven they can deliver the goods. I hope not but in this market nobody messes around if anything appears to go wrong be it perceived or otherwise. It could get real ugly. Again IMO. hio
