Remind me to write a letter of thanks to the WSJ for allowing me to add to my position in CPQ. I'm not sure whoes back they were scratching this morning but it wasn't too effective.

RE Thanks, it never ceases to amaze me how some of these so called wall street guys come up with wild stories to spook the unsuspecting & misinformed investors into selling their stocks on the cheap in good companies.Their motives seem to be rather dubious or could it be that they are not all that smart. Everytime someone has some bad news about CPQ you trot out the same conspiracy theory. Why don't you just accept the fact that the merger does have a lot of potential problems inherent with a takeover that size. And to expect things to just go smoothly as you hope is unrealistic. This doesn't say that CPQ is a bad company. But not everyone who disagrees with your opinions are stupid.
