Thread; CPQ loosing steam. Oh well, a little over two hours to go before all h____ breaks loose. Probably selling ahead of the news. It'll probably be 23 3/16 by 3:30.

Victor, no, 14 is the day of my birthday, if you must know. I did not take the time to conjure several "clever" profiles like yours, and yes, I use the same profile on any board I post, unlike you. That makes it easier for me to have a consistent discussion and establish credibility with others. As to the weight of your arguments, I generally use them as a contrarian indicator, so I cannot say that I give them zero weight myself, but something on the other end of the scale might be more appropriate. By the tone of your commentary it appears that the one who is in an awkward position is you. I hope your short did not hurt too much today, but do not personalize this as CPQ is an investment instrument whose purpose is to make money. I have nearly tripled my original investment since September, so I am happy being long, trading a portion of it periodically, and being consistent from board to board. I won't dignify your shallow or myopic comments any further, but wish you luck nonetheless, and if you care to engage in a discussion regarding facts, developments, or financial analysis, I will look forward to it.
