Well, as I posted last night, it's a wash, and the market appears to agree. I am still puzzled by the presumption by many that there is something sinister here. The accounting for mergers is complex, particularly when merging companies with different fiscal years, and subject to many legitimate variables. COMS appeared to be conservative by overestimating the cost of merger related restructuring.
