I just can't make stuff up this good....
http://www.oneshare.com/freelanding.asp?AID=516736&PID=645730
Palm Inc. stock is at 80 cents, give or take. Well, you don't need to bother buying it. You can buy 100 shares of Microsoft and get one share of Palm FREE!. Or you could buy 15 shares of Disney and get a share of Palm free. You could buy 10 shares of Handspring, get a free Palm share and still have enough left over from a $20 bill to take your significant other to a movie tonight.  Have a great weekend all!
<!>
You know, in all seriousness, I really feel sorry for the employees. The ones that have been with the company for years, were given options and the ability to buy in at the ground floor of one of the most hyped IPOs in history, and now they have nothing. Sigh....

Hey, you might want to get yours now! That way you can tell you grandchildren "I remeber when..." and these things will probably be collectors items :wink:
As far as the employees go, I agree it sucks, but the stockmarket is a gamble for everybody, and they did have some control over what happened in their own company after all.
And if they didn't feel they could keep Palm going the way they thought it should, then they always had the option to sell.
But to borrow an expression, "Just my opinion, I could always be wrong"

Crap, so you are telling me it wasn't a good idea to buy a 1,000 shares of Palm today? Why didn't someone tell me this! :wink:

*mouth hangs open for a second* 8O that....that's...umm. What is there to really to say about this. I can't really laugh at this. This is pitiful. I too feel very sorry for the employee's of Palm. I seriously wonder what the employee's think when the big wigs at Palm release some of their famous spin. They have to be shaking their collective head.
Or how about the mandatory pep talks most big businesses give to their employee's. What kind of pep could you possibly give?!?!
I really wonder how close they are to being sold or bought by someone else.
Hmmm Sony....

One share a MSFT at a low price and one share of PALM for exactly what it is worth - NOTHING!

Boy the anti-Palm FUD sure does get deep here. As of right now, there are five stories making some negative reference to Palm on the home page. Anyone want to guess how many of these news items were posted by Ed?
