remember the boy who called wolf?

The question was not does CPQ bounce around - I've had the same season pass to the roller coaster you have. But what about today? Normal day, CPQ pops up one day and down the next - or major drop due to Intel shortfall, in which CPQ is one of the players? If the latter, do we pop back up with everyone when folks figure out that Intel ain't going out of business after all?

Say you have a guy who doesn't dress too well. every day you tell him "you really need to buy a few decent clothes, those jeans from your 1968 european walking tour just don't cut it" and every day he says "yea sure" - but then one day the apartment he lives in catches on fire in the middle of the night - he and everyone else runs out the door in their underwear.

If someone asked you what was going on, would you say "the problem is, that guy just doesn't know how to dress, I've been telling him that for 2 years but he never learns"?
