hmm. You're right. My father told me about the deal earlier today, and mentioned the share price increasing. Seems like he was wrong on the latter part.
Oh, well. I just have a tiny ammount as well so it doesn't matter :-)
I've had the stock since the spin off from Arthur Andersen. Fortunately for ACN, they lost out on being able to use the AA name, otherwise the confusion over the company being one and the same as AA would be even greater than it appears to be, by the looks of some of the posts on this board. Gee, all this time and I thought I owned shares in an american company, come on folks, do your homework, will you. By the way, the 10 billion dollar contract is to be shared with a few other companies, such as Dell, for one.
Eurotwit, that may be why the stock didn't move much on the deal, that and the possibility that the contract could end up being a money loser for Accenture (take a look at the problems EDS has been having with a navy contract).
