To all, Has anyone noticed the unusually high (11,700+)open interest on the July 7.5 call? This is especially curious given that earnings coincide with the Aug option. Any thoughts on what this means? At a recent meeting with analysts from an un-named brokerage house the CEO of Computer Associates was asked about his company's interest in acquiring IFMX. Wang of course sidestepped the question. Would such a partnership even make sense? CA's interest in CSC was clear, they wanted CSC's service business and the contracts that went along with it. Such a deal would have added to earnings and provided much needed eps growth for CA. Can someone on this thread, who is knowledgeable of IFMX's business, build a rationale for a CA-IFMX partnership, because I can't. Thanks. KS
