How 'bout this? S&P removes COMS from list and adds PALM. Would not be totally outrageous.

twillowy, that would really supply some kick if PALM was added to the S&P. it's fun to even think about it. like you, i feel that there must be substantial pressure coming from the underwriters, and that the "Russell Midcap 2000 gives them extra ammunition". thanks for providing those S&P guidelines :) mark

If the S&P500 Committee can't even add my beloved JDSU, then I think the possibility of adding Palm, in the short-term, to the index are remote. But if they did, it would be pure gas to the fire. I really can't see a decline upon the Palm distribution. Every mid-cap growth fund, large-cap growth fund will be adding Palm as a holding (well close to every fund!) (VBG). I'm debating on whether to keep, sell, or add to comsv. But after 6-months I'm not even sure what they do! I know they are involved with bluetooth and net appliances. But who isn't amongst the high-tech companies? Can anyone provide a brief summary of what non-cash assets coms still possess? What businesses are they in, and not just contemplating? I feel like an outsider regarding coms, and I have been reading about their actions, listening to their conference calls for over 6 months, and I still don't know what they actually do! tia
