Technology Stocks : Siebel Systems (SEBL) - strong buy? -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Whenever a successful company buys a smaller company, the buyer's stock price usually drops for a day or two, then usually rises again. After all, Siebel wouldn't go after this deal if it didn't think this was a really positive move for Siebel! This could be a good buying opportunity. Any thoughts or reactions?

Thanks for the response. If that's arbitrage I can see how these guys make their money. I kept looking at this earlier and decided at 18 1/8 scop was a value..at least for now. So rather than overanalyze I bought some figuring worst case I end up with sebl stock. But it's gone up over a point since then. With respect to buying sebl on a dip. It appears (so far today at least)that sebl hit its resistance at 55 and seems to be moving slowly up from there. Hopefully this continues. Melissa
