Night Writer. Re: "I don't see how the street could not like MC at this point." When the trend is negative, WS will find a way. I think it's ironic that people are praising the HP choice of someone who 1) knows virtually nothing about the business and 2) Will face some internal skepticism and lack of cooperation from those who thought he/she should have been chosen. Instead they are focusing on MC's position as an "insider", which is not really true in the sense that he does not have any "equity" in the previous regime's decisions nor did he participate in putting the company in the mess it's in. Go figure. HL
