To all...be patient...but let the people who want out get out ...there are probably quite a few people who have absolutely no idea about this acquisition (like me) and when in doubt they will get out...this binge selling will probably take a few more days to play out...as every "rally " is trimmed....but remember...OUT OF CHAOS COMES OPPORTUNITY...LOOK AT IT THIS WAY....suppose you start buying some every week for the next 3 weeks and the average cost is 10.00...suppose it takes a whole year (i predidct a lot lot less) to go back to 12...that is 20 %..will the DOW go up 20 % in the next 12 months...GRIM HAS SPOKEN...make me richer ...reduce my average cost...hahahahah

>>I'd like to buy back some calls, and am wondering how much lower BORL will go, so I can buy some Borland calls back then.<< Linda, I would not buy calls, I would buy the stock itself and hold it for a long time. I think this aquisition is not the last one that Borland will make, and maybe they will buy the other companies as expensive than this one. Borland is the winner, but the stockholder has to pay for that, at least in the short term. So I don't think the stock will make a lot in the next year, but in the long run, with all it's collected new technologies, Borland might have a good ascending stockprice. Here are some interview snippits: 1.) Yocam in an PCWeek interview in March 97: "There are 10 or so companies that get categorized as independent tools companies. Eight are not making money," he says. "We can be very active" on the acquisition front, he says. 2.) November 19, 1997 at 15:24, press conference: Added LeFaivre, "ORB is just the start. There's a whole suite being developed that add value to ORB, like security and transaction services. We just wrap it all together for a true application server built on distributed object technology." best regards
