I realize there is a claim that Jordan spilled the beans on an immanent deal, but in the U.S., there is an S.E.C. mandated quiet period surrounding mergers and acquisitions, even of privately held companies, since there could be stock and equity exchanges involved, etc.. A lot of noise during this period can damage the deal. You should keep quiet, until the deal is announced by someone authoritative as being final and approved. Anything else is just gossip and speculation. Terry Lambert terry@lambert.org --- Any opinions in this posting are my own and not those of my present or previous employers.
