This guy claims he is a broker and says that there are "accounting irregularities" at CPQ. I suppose that "stockrumors.com" is another worthless site, but I can't get into it to see what they have to say. El Message 39083 of 39084 Reply The rumor is circulating BrokerHunk Oct 6 1998 It's just a rumor. But then again I make my living buying and selling rumors so I listen to any rumor concerning big caps like Compaq. I heard it about 20 minutes after the close. It is also posted on several services. Checkout StockRumors.com - they have it posted. Are you an option player? If so, I would be interested in the bullish interpretation of Tuesdays CPQ and options trading patterns. (That's not a rhetorical question - I would really like to know) I am a short term trader and don't concern myself with any underlying fundamentals so I tend to stay out of any strategic or vision type discussions. Quite frankly, if the rumor is true it would not surprise very many on the street. How Compaq can acquire Tandem and merge with DEC without some "Accounting Irregularities" is beyond most analysts and would not be unexpected.
