Actually, Dell was up a little yesterday. I saw rumors floating around that IBM may merge with them. I don't see it happening but I'm sure we will see lots of mergers and aquisitions in the coming months. The smart ones still have lots of cash in anticipation for this fire sale. MSFT supposedly has a ton of money to use for this purpose. Possibly buy Yahoo for a fraction of what it would have cost them previously... They could scoop up a bunch of bargains to help gain a strong foot hold. Maybe some "voice enablers" and game companies, also. Perhaps once some of the aquistions take place it could be the fuel to drive the market higher once again. Congratulations. Polvie tells me you've lost quite a few pounds this past year. Makes you feel good, doesn't it... -Clappy <Clappy puts on his "I'm a Friggin' Moron" shirt and begins prying TS for more diet tips as the poundless Englishman simply scratches his head wondering if it's possible for this guy to be any dumber...>

I notice that IBM, MSFT, and Pfizer are teaming up to launch an independent company to develop software and services for physicians. I wonder how long before scoops up HLTH while it sits in the $4 range. I would think that eventually they will turn a profit. Right now the picture just doesn't look very pretty for HLTH, but I'm sure they hold a valuable chunk of real estate in that sector. Perhaps some pharm will see it as an opportunity like Pfizer does. Who knows... -ClappyThePharmer
