Sun Microsystems Inc. JAVA
Sun Microsystems it seems like the mixture of Oracle's market-leading database products plus Sun's MySQL alternative isn't quite a monopoly. I bet Microsoft would like to argue otherwise, but it's too late now. The only serious hurdle left to clear is antitrust clearance from European regulators.
That's not exactly the same thing as closing the deal, but we're getting pretty darn close. You could still buy some Sun stock, wait for final approval, and reap a 1.5% return on your investment. The fact that the stock still trades below Oracle's $9.50-per-share buyout price means that a few shareholders still expect the deal to fall through. But I wouldn't advise anybody to short the stock or buy put options today. Chances are that Sun will set in Larry Ellison's backyard.
