Well, based on the 6/5 CBOE open interest numbers, I've updated and posted the NOVL June'98 options analysis. It appears that the value of the June'98 open interest at 12.5 is 3x the value of the June'98 open interest at 7.5, with the Max-Pain point at $10. That's where the options MMs, and hedge fund folk, are going to 'guide' the stock price around the 19th... JMHO Ben A. ez-pnf.com

Novell Inc. (NOVL) (Reuters 08:29 AM ET 06/05/98) NOVELL INC said that its board of directors has authorized the company to repurchase up to 10%, or about 35 million shares, of Novell common stock over the next twelve months. Novell said it plans to buy shares on the open market from time to time, depending on market conditions. The repurchases will be funded from Novell cash and short-term investments that totaled $1.08 billion, as of April 30, 1998. Novell, which has about 353 million shares outstanding, said the repurchased shares will be retired and canceled. During its 1996 fiscal year, under a previous board repurchase authorization, the company spent $456 million to repurchase and retire 33 million shares of Novell common stock. ==================================================================== Now is Schmidt makes a token purchase, I think the street would take notice.
