"32% of something is worth more than 100% of nothing, which is what AV was contributing to CPQ before the sale to CMGI. CPQ would not have been able to do anything with AV in the current whirlwind." Why couldn't CPQ have spun off ATV itself without first selling it to some other entity. AT&T did not sell LU to some other company to skim the cream off. I thought I was sooo smart selling my CPQ end of Jan for 47 3/4 and then buying for the same amount of dollars more shares in march at 31. I've heard the expression "catching a falling knife" and that's what I did. This is NOT the same company that ran circles around IBM in the late 80's. Stevek
