Did I here right? A stock advisor on MSNBC said that Compaq may be another ENRON and is in danger of going bankrupt if the merger with HP dosen't fly. Any of you guys have any inside info on this?

Sounds about right. Also, Bill Hewlet, the son of one of the co-founders has vowed to fight the merger to the very end.
If I can find an artical on-line, I will post it. I got it in the local paper due to the fact that they are based here.

Really? Why would he not be for the merger I wonder? It seems to me it would be a win win situation. HP is based in CA? Im in Houston we got the other end of it. It don't seem that the local papers don't give the real story, on Enron or this matter. I think the Big dogs in the Corporate offices have the papers in their pockets.

Sorry, I didn't read the artical deep enough to know why he didn't want it.
probably should have though.
