$6.66: The Number of the BEAS

Dana Cimilluca notes

that Oracle is offering $6.66 billion exactly for BEA Systems, whose ticker

symbol is BEAS. He asks whether this is a coincidence. The answer is that no,

it isn’t. It’s another instance of tech CEOs being cute, a bit like Google’s

IPO being for $e billion, and then its secondary

offering being for 14,159,265 shares. Whether you find this kind of behavior

appealing or appalling is likely a good indication of your attitude to tech

stocks more generally.
