BIG MONEY by: harryt_92627 103797 of 103807 SPECIALISTS who control CPQ more than likely bought all their short positions back already,,, knocked out most of the margin calls,,if not all,,they dont have any thing to gain by dropping the stock on earnings,, they will make millions when they gap this stock up,up on earnings. IF the earnings were going to be bad the specalists would have kept CPQ up towards $25.00 RANGE,,SELLING THEIR POSITIONS. DROPPING IT LIKE THE WAY THEY HAVE,, seems to me they want all the stock they can get,,to sell it back to you at higher prices. PEOPLE were buying IBM the day before the earnings because it was up,, then it crashed,big deal. PEOPLE were selling MICROSOFT before earnings because it was down,, after earnings stock up up. CPQ down into earnings,, then up up up,,after earnings.
