“The U.S. government’s proposal Friday to split software giant
Microsoft into two companies is already proving a boon to upstart
Linux companies, as several Linux stocks were trading significantly
higher in midday market action Monday.”
“Some Linux stocks, which had not been performing well, got
a shot in the arm Monday morning, indicating that at least some
investors believe the potential breakup will spur innovation and
growth in the Linux community.”
“Corel (stock: CORL), for example, was up 1 15/32. Caldera
(stock: CALD)was up 2 3/8. Red Hat (stock: RHAT) posted a 3 3/4
gain at the halfway mark.”
