The fact is, under the current arrangement, HP would be awarding cpq a 50% premium for the privilege of bailing them out

I keep asking myself why over pay now? Why a premium for a company that seems to have had troubles for many years while others were making hay? Also, why not wait for a better price? If things are really bad, then they might bet Enron or @home type prices for computer company assets. IF things are good, why take the big risk? It seems to me that Carly is swinging for the fence where hitting a double might be more attractive to us shareholders that have to take the actual risk.

CPQ... I've felt for some time that was a dog stock...
