Satyam closed at $1.46 (after falling 84.39%) on Monday.
whats your comment on infy’s knee jerk reaction to satyam fiasco? murthy tells ‘we wont go near any tainted companies’, when asked if infy would take over. Nandhan Nielkani goes live on TV everyday and curses Raju and satyam just like a street fight. There is something fishy that these guys jumping too much.

For them (Narayana Murthy, Nandan Nilekani), there’s not a better New Year gift than the Satyam fiasco.
Chandrababu Naidu always promoted Raju as Andhra’s answer to Karnataka’s Murthy … so regional politics was always at play ….To Murthy’s credit he always maintained a dignified silence and went about doing his work …..
Murthy has clarified since then …
In a statement released to the press some hours back, NR Narayana Murthy, Chairman of the Board and Chief Mentor, Infosys Technologies said, “At a time of crisis, it is important that the industry acts in a responsible and credible manner. We have stated our intention not to act on any CVs received from Satyam’s employees. This is to ensure that nothing is done that will adversely impact Satyam’s future. This is no reflection on the integrity and competence of Satyam’s employees. We respect them as professionals.”

We haven’t heard the last of this Satyam fiasco yet.
