Yes.

If you use AAPL's recovery as a model. I'd say 3 years.

Jobs took over Apple' in late 96 I think. He caused an immediate jump to the stock price (from $14 to $31) when he introduced Bill Gates at MacWorld as an investor of $150 million in AAPL stock.

It settled in the twenties for the following year going up and down. Since the launch of online internet sales and the iMac last year, the stock has been climbing rather steadily. This is also due to the other changes.

So they saw 2 years of rocky reorganization where the stock went up and down +/- ten points before settling into a steady climb.

I expect the same of CPQ. They are much larger to move around so it may take longer.

Great money for the daytraders!
