Seems to me that there are two possibilities neither of them good for 3Com. 1. They cooked the books to manipulate the stock price (meeting /beating estimates), which means that the lawyers will have a field day. 2. They did not know what they were doing, which makes the management (financial team) incompetant. Furthermore, Why the charge adjustment over a period of Q's rather than 1-time is puzzling. The fact that they dont know how much it costs for merger, says a lot about management competance. Comments? Stockman

What a pathetic excuse for accounting. If this company isn't down hard tomorrow I'm going to short it at the open.
