Jay, New to SI "live" so pls pardon errors. Has IBM ever acquired an overseas based company such as CHKPF? I imagine operating/ integrating a subsidiary based in the US is quite different from one rooted in Israel. Secondly, would someone please explain why a Mid- East military conflict should adversely affect CHKPF's share price. Even if it is based in Israel, the product is "ethereal", the main markets far removed from the potential war-zone.......and its very unlikely that the remaining Scuds or whatever will be aimed at Israel, let alone the CHKPF headquarters Enjoy the weekend!

Would you indicate the source of the rumor that IBM is interested in buying CHKPF?
