Hi TG - that is precisely my point. John may be right that MOT has been down so much that the disappointment was builtin. Indeed, there comes a point that a stock can go no further [down] It becomes a strong stock if it refuses to go down in face of bad news. In contrast, like you and others have noticed, CPQ goes down in face of no news. While mgt's primary responsibility is to run the business and not to defend the stock price each time it goes down, it is to mgt's benefit to give back to the shareholders the faith they invest in mgt by correcting the misconception in the investment community. It is easy, as tell the truth loud and clear. If investment community turns a deaf ear. Repeat it. It causes only a few hundread dollars to put out a PR, but the reward to get the record straight is phenomenal. That reminds investors why they invest in CPQ. That give potential investors the real deal. That corrects the FUD in the investment community. That tells its customers they are buying from a strong company. That tells its supplier they are selling to a strong company with great purchasing power. Ultimately, that will give the company a strong stock currency to leverage for other opportunities.

best, Bosco
