739.0. "Synoptics merges with Wellfleet" by SCHOOL::DESAI () Tue Jul 05 1994 20:47

    Synoptics and Wellfleet have announced a merger.
    
    For every SNPX share, you get 0.725 Wellfleet share.
    
    SNPX down by 1 5/8 today to 14 and change. Haven't
    looked at Wellfleet stock.
    
    What do you think of this merger as an investment
    opportunity?

739.1Wait, Look Closely and THEN JUMP....POBOX::PATELThu Jul 07 1994 04:2321
    Very very competitive market place - This to me is a survival tactic
    for WellFleet since the product space that they are in is getting
    COMMODITIZED extensively.  
    
    My conclusion: It is not a stock for a long term investor - If you want
    to play a "downer", or "contrarian", let it bottom out and then jump in
    for a short ride along with other tech stocks.  It might be worth the
    move.  I watch both of them very closely for fundamental and technical
    improvements.  At this time BOTH are DOGS to me.  I migh change this
    opinion based on new information, obviously (technical or funda info).  
    
    We have had some trouble with WellFleet routers too recently, but SNPX
    products are GREAT to sell and work with.  I'm in N.I.S (Network
    Integration Services) where I do get some exposure to these products,
    fortunately (to get more consulting business) or unfortunately (since
    it is a competitor of DEC)!!!!!.
    
    Good luck.
