You're not alone, but I hope you haven't been keeping stocks like CA as major portions of your portfolio; "He who lives by the sword, dies by the sword," on this one and any other accounting-inflated revenue and acquisition-driven, no-eps glamor/growth stock. There is so much hype around these companies - and a lot of it is based on the sheer "cult of personality" that surrounds their CEO's. I think the market is starting to look at these kinds of companies and is realizing there is a price to pay for the "make the quarter by whatever means" approach to running a business.
