Tim,i did NOT short PAIR - i am holding a small position BUT BUT BUT I am nervous that technology deals may be delayed or canned or "re visited" especially if a deal involves stock since 1) volatility means buyer not sure of exact share rate to offer 2) seller wants to make sure if they make the deal it's good for them and if buyer's stock drops, the sellers don;t get as much as they thgt Again, I am long, but concerned, and the longer any potential deal drags on, the more factors that can come into play to screw it up Posting here as well in case you did not see the response on TM's page. I have been posting much of the afternoon on stock price movement and my thoughts on where the stocks were headed - ZD,PAIR,MPTT/TNO,etc etc

partial update...more to follow later today or by tomorrow: this is what was just told to me " pair is in the middle of a bidding war" disclaimer; now any and all information that we get MUST be taken with a grain of salt and you and only you must decide to buy sell or hold..SO ALWAYS DO YOUR DD...i feel very good about what i'm hearing and the # of shares i'm sitting on.....this is suppose to be a very hot deal about to be made and i for one don't want to be on the sidelines...pair has held up very well in the last couple days while everyone else is getting their heads handed to them. i will always update in realtime as soon as i hear anything good or bad...but at this point i think we are sitting one heck of a deal here.... i might here more in about 1 hour or tomorrow
