    Why is RHT trading at a discount to IBM's purchase price

    Here is a newbie question. Why is RHT trading below the 190 price that IBM said it was going to pay? I guess why is the market settling on 170? Could I arbitrage this buy buying the stock at the discount and buying some protective puts (haven't looked at the options market on this yet) ?

    SQL - Daily/weekly/monthly % Change in Price

    I would not try to do this in SQL. Can you do it, yes, but should you do it. No. Here's why: SQL is designed to retrieve data, not do calculations. Because there was a demand to do calculations in SQL, Microsoft and Oracle added it on as an afterthough. The result of that is you'll be forced to...
