### Comment:
Personally this is too risky for my taste. Anything at this point is a gamble, but I think HP will beat earnings given they rejected the acquisition. Otherwise they just lied that the merger would not be in the best interest of shareholders and it's going to fucking tank the stock so puts. It can still go either way though.

### REPLY:
Well HP might have a long term plan that they suspect could grow their company, probably 3D printing, so they probably just want to take their chances without consolidation, but sounds like XEROX isn't having it. The interesting thing I'm wondering is if HP will beat earnings and have good news to bring. Because XEROX gave HP an ultimatum that they have til the 25th to respond to, which is 1 day before HPs ER. That's got to be on purpose, they seem to want HP to make a decision before their ER
