pro.... CPQ now 4.5 points higher than DELL. I think that may be the greatest spread in CPQ's favor in many moons. Looks like the suits on Wall Street have finally figured out that CPQ is in something of a win/win situation. If pcs are dead, CPQ wins in that 81% of their revenue stream comes from other more profitable sources. If pcs aren't dead, CPQ wins as profits from that source can become icing on the cake. All this is, of course, subject to continued brilliant management and execution by the Capellas team and the degree of that success is dependent on the economy. El
