IBM to acquire SUN   Message List

Re: [witi] IBM to acquire SUN

IBM doesn't do mergers. They are going to eat Sun alive and blue-wash it. IBM has a market cap 20x of Sun.

It would be more amusing if Cisco joined in and sparked a bidding war.

$6.5BN may appear to be a premium of 100% on Sun's closing price the day before the intent was announced, but it is still cheap for the IP, talent and diversity Sun has.

Right now the market cap for Sun is $6.03BN... too low.

Let's see how it turns out.

Cheers,

Zubin.

As I said... $6.5BN is too low :) I wonder why Oracle isn't buying them... they paid $8.5BN for BEA... and have a $95BN market cap. The good news is that they...
