Mohan, Thanks for the article. Some technical trivial: the 100 day average of CPQ is around 30 and 200 day avereage is around 27. mho, If it drop, 26-27 should have some support. But if it drop further, then it could be another 'correction' which happened again and again on CPQ in the recent years. David :)

Hi Mohan, I thought this excerpt from one of several WSJ articles today is interesting, so here it is.... " Again, the companies reached fairly quick agreement on price, which some saw as low, despite its premium of about 25% over Digital's closing price Friday. Digital has cash reserves of about $2 billion that could swell closer to $3 billion if pending asset sales and the deal with Intel get a green light from federal regulators. Plus, Digital has tax-loss carry-forwards estimated at about $3 billion that can shield some of Compaq's net income from taxes." Based on the cash and tax loss carryforwards DEC has, the deal is looking better every day. By the way, will Altavista now become CompaqVista ????? John <gggg>
