Taken from YAHOO post...Mr Boostra of Philips, the Dutch conglomerate said this morning to a DenHaag newspaper that it was considering acquiring a US internet player "with substantial technical expertise". He then added that companies such as 3COM would be ideal targets. The article is to be published later next week. MY COMMENTS: Wouldn't street be bidding COMS up by now with all this rumor stuff? Problem with all this rumor is, why would there be insider selling in Dec./Jan. (prices around $45.50) when merger/takeover etc. issues are bubbling? Doesn't sound like COMS is interested, unless the seriousness of merger/buyout/alliances has dramatically increased in the past couple months.
