Jim,,,, <<"You take CPQ and I'll take CMGI and we'll check back in a few months.">> That is not fair. You take CPQ and I'll take ANY issue and check back... not sure there is a bigger pig disliked and distrusted by so many. Few have been so disappointing to so many. Down 1/2 with hours to ago after appointing a CEO and getting a MS upgrade... tells us this one is on the way to a Chinese restaurant..

Let's see... at best, I might have gotten 1 share of AV for every 30 or 40 shares of CPQ. So maybe a 2% value... somehow that does not seem compelling. I would rather see them recover some of the price lost since January.

The value of the CMGI deal is in the relationship, not ownership of CMGI.

I bought some CMGI last fall - it's been a tolerably good investment.
