CRM reported what is being considered a blowout tonight with raised guidance. Between this and HP, which was also way up AH we should have a great day tomorrow.

On CRM there is a secondary catalyst of the CFO deciding to stay, which to me means he sees too much potential in this business to leave. But this kind of decision is hard to gauge so the street might be overreacting.

I will say though, that I don't see much traction in infrastructure spending OF ANY KIND for traditional IT, and prefer the consumer names or networking like Bob's stocks.
