Opinion on  BEA Systems Inc (BEAS)     Sector: Technology  >  Industry: Software & Programming
smoke and mirrors, or just smoke

Oct 15, 2007 05:13 AM GMT
Return Risk
+4.64% HIGH
Sr. Analyst

Oracle made an offer for BEAS at 17.  I expect BEAS to settle between 10% and 5% below the final offer.  I expect that the market will move BEAS to above 20, and that will probably happen on Monday or Tuesday.  So if you can buy BEAS in the low 18's on Monday and sell in the 20-21 range, your odds at a quick 5% to 10% return are favorable.


BEAS:  This call was made on 10/15/07 @ $18.82
Rating:   Positive   $18.82 (10/15/07)
Closed:   10/18/2007 @ $18.35 (-2.50% in 3 days)
Target:   $20.00 (+6.27%) in < two weeks
