Rude <<"I don't think any of us have the knowledge to figure out what the CEO of a company of CPQ's complexity should be doing - we have to grade him on results, not style.">> TRUE,, and they are not that good! <<"but the notion that the CEO should jump up and speak about every rumor that comes along just does not strike me as a good way to use his time">> True,, but the effect of this one is not like "every rumor" <<"If the rumor is untrue, the share price will pop back up.">> Doubtful as you and some others are true CPQ holders. Most are not as faithful as you Michael and others. Some actually expect to make a few bux in these mkts. I would prefer someone with credability and honesty. Someone with the guts to talk and not hide in the technology. Someone that knows the company and also knows what to do during bad times to support SH equity -- no lies ,, no BS,, just HONESTY not hiding in a rice paddy! Forget about Carly-- look at what LU put out when they were the recipients of the same rumor today (LU UP 2 3/16)-- that is just the difference between knowing your company entirely, having a little guts, and not being in training during important periods when things happen and knowing what should be done when they happen instead of burying their head where the sun does not shine with a 'no comment'... They had a HUGE chance and blew it! This was a gift they did not know what to do with,, only shareholders noticed,,,
