Palmone.

Palmone on the otherhand, is trading at $14.46, down sharply from last trading day of Palm inc. $27.24

Sure, but they also carved out a chunk of the company and gave it to their shareholders (hint: it's called PalmSource), so logically the PalmOne share price would go down, wouldn't it?

These opening bell ceremonies are pure PR fluff. Even Michael Jackson had his moment at the podium, ghoul that he is. Guest walks up to the podium...says a few words...rings the bell...blows kisses to the crowd (who really doesn't give a monkey's arse)..and leaves.

Given that NASDAQ is a computer trading system, who's the audience anyway -- a bunch of server racks? ;)

Isn't PalmOne a combination of Palm at $26.39 (27Oct) and Handspring at $1.65 ?

Remember after 9/11 when palm was 73 cents? If you had bought a 1000 then and sold last week you would have $25000 to complain about! (I keep wishing I had done that)

Sounds like a good time to buy more PalOne shares.

Almost -- you must subtract off the value of PalmSource, which is now a separate company.

You're forgetting that Palm did a 1-to-20 stock merge, so a 73 cent share price then would be equivalent to a $14.60 price now. That's would mean you'd only have around a $650 dollar gain on 1000 shares bought around 73 cents, as those would have become 50 shares at 14.60.
