I had hoped that BEAS would be driven up this week over speculation of a bidding war. Short-term, that bidding war seems unlikely (silence from HPQ, JAVA, SAP), so I would look to exit this trade as a wash.

It is highly likely that BEAS will eventually be acquired; however, since story may take months to unfold there are better places for one's trading money.

BEAS: This call was made on 10/18/07 @ $18.35
