Re: "Oracle has hundreds of Vice Presidents. In fact they have Vice Presidents reporting to Vice Presidents" - paul, Ive never implied that he was one of a few vice presidents. Every investment banker in town gets that title. It's more important to concentrate on how he did relative to his duties. Is MC a high profile CEO? no. But HWP's new CEO never held that position either. Lu has an embarassment of riches regarding their management. HWP's CEO was surrounded by the best. Now she's on her own, we'll see. She'll probably be great but no one knows until ex post facto. Like I said before, blue chips prospects arent always the best performers. As far as the Street goes, who cares. If CPQ doesnt improve operations, it'll eventually give up any gains they wouldve received from a "high profile" CEO. It's all touchy feely, honeymoon period now. Eventually, it'll be put up or shut up.
