Once you own over 5% you can no longer hide behind another name
such as your brokerage or a shell company set up for that purpose.
There would be no reason for IBM to throw 50 million publicly toward
Novell in a move to assure continued access to Suse for their eServer
products, and then to try to hide the fact that they own stock.
Since Novell is a 2.49Billion company, you can see that 50million
is a pittance.
