Hello TRIIBOY, I am curious as to your logic on shorting CPQ. I searched the thread and don't see where you offered your reasoning. I am long the stock and believe this will be an IBM type recovery story. I am not expecting a great story this quarter, but expect a very positive forward looking forecast. Did you see AMD's numbers last night? Maybe these big IT budgets did start kicking in as promised March 1st? I don't mean to argue with you, just looking for intelligent feedback. Seems that other boxmakers who are less diversified in services etc would be much better shorts for those so inclined. I am not looking for huge short term pops, but honestly believe CPQ will be in the 45-50 range year end. Thank you. sf
