Did you say $200/share buyout offer of IBM by Microsoft? Where did you get that from? Is this a joke? Is that a big rumor and how do you see Wall street interpreting it? That's what I don't understand Frantz. I have never seen as many mega-merger announcements as there have been today yet the stocks just sit there like nothing happened. Can anybody explain this? As for how the Street will interpret it, it's an event of siesmic proportions, so one would think. Seems to me this happened last year about this time of year and most of the deals fell through the next day. I'm as puzzled as you are.
