Tim,,,<'puts shareholders in an uncertain situation for 6 additional long months tied to 3Com. The benefit of the Spinoff to COMS holders is not really known until 9 months from now - that sucks. I think it will piss you off if you see a PALM share..'> I'm pissed at the stupid idea already! The little info supplied does not make it a reason to buy oms for MAYBE something a year from now. Holding for the buyout only at this point,, if EPS is blowout it may mean something,, if just good it will fall farther..

Tim, I disagree. The COMS stock value attributed to Palm will track pretty closely Palm shares because of arbitrage trades. Even though most individual investors will not be sophisticated enough to use options and shorting to take advantage of Palm stock prices, the professionals will, and the net result will be that the value of Palm will be reflected pretty closely in the value of COMS shares until the distribution.
