Agreed, For me it's just a question of how long it will be dead money. Do you think actual earnings next week could actually give a boost here. Last quarter it was the double wammy because it came in at bottom end of predicted range.

Interesting exchange I had on MSFT thread. Conspiracy theory leaves us with IBM behind the grassy knoll. What do you think?

The guy I talked about that posted SI about IBM restructuring software costs because (in his opinion) those 3rd party SW companies were charging much too much, might have posted it on the IBM thread. It's a sparsely posted thread. Check it out. If what he said is true, they may be out in the cold because of IBM's new pricing policy." If that's the case then BMC becomes a takeover target by IBM because of the quality of their software. Maybe that was IBM's plan in driving down the price of BMC and CA for that matter.
