>>Thestreet.com has an article saying that the options crowd is betting on a takover of 3com by Erickson before Firday, note the huge activity in the options which expire on Friday before earnings are announced.<< I think this may be due to perception that 3coms Palmpilot & modem business is more consumer oriented and could have a better synergy with Erricson. However, Erricson would still need a carrier switch product to be able to compete with the likes of ASND, CISCO, Lucent, or Nortel. 3COM has not set an earnings announcement date. I have a feeling that they want to select a last minute strategic date that will help the stock price.
