HWP 30% in last 2 weeks.

Although some at The Motley Fool say that the H-P/Compaq deal looks good to them (e.g. [link|http://www.fool.com/news/2001/hwp010907.htm?ref=foolwatch|Friday's FoolWatch] - strange view, IMO), the stock hasn't made any sign of recovery. It's still down 30% from where it was a week before the merger was announced.

Do you think Carly's going to have to pay the $675 M deal-breakdown penalty to Compaq? It sure looks that way to me...

Cheers,
Scott.

Inquirer: Deal faces collapse

[link|http://www.theinquirer.net/10090107.htm|Here].

HP AND COMPAQ executives are set to embark on a furious spin campaign to save the proposed takeover - announced only last Monday - from a disastrous collapse, the Wall Street Journal reports today.

Meanwhile, sources from inside HP have told the INQUIRER that any possibility of successfully uniting disparate elements of the two companies' server strategies are just a pipe dream.
