>>I feel COMS has too much going for itself in house to be some other companies whore.<< yeah<g>. Eric B. isn't putting in all that work to give INTC the credit...unless there's absolutely no choice and I don't see any reason for that.

Though I'm happy with COMS going up since I still got some calls. But I think it's dumb of those who bought around 28 today. It's up because of a rumor and in the current market condition, it'll fall back to low 20s quickly. If anyone really wants to gamble, then put the money into CIEN. The chance for CEIN to be bought out is much higher than COMS.

here's the blurb in Herb Greenberg's column: Intel/3Com rumors rage on: There has already been plenty of speculation that Intel (INTC:Nasdaq) is sniffing around 3Com (COMS:Nasdaq) for the parts, the whole or something totally unrelated. But in recent days I've heard from several one-step-removed sources (full disclosure) that Intel officials have been spending an inordinate amount of time lately at 3Com. Why, then, bring it up? For the same reason I brought up the speculation a week ago that USWeb (USWB:Nasdaq) and CKS (CKSG:Nasdaq) might be merging. (The next day they announced they were.) There's simply enough info to suggest Intel has been inside. Intel officials, citing policy, declined comment. A 3Com spokeswoman also declined to discuss takeover rumors, but said that both companies work together on an "ongoing basis on a lot of initiatives," including home networking and managed PCs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Big deal. I wonder how many companies INTC has been inside? Do each one get a merger rumor? Is somebody buying and selling lots of shares? (pump and dump?)
