i'm thinking that possibly the selling of $732 mil. of receivables to banking institutions maybe a positive, if in fact the receivables are in foreign currencies. with a strong us dollar, why would CPQ want to risk exposure to unstable asian currencies? does anyone know the nature of these receivables? also CPQ may have been padding 4Q 97, while looking ahead to a blowout 1Q 98. just a thought....paul.

You could hear the big sleeping 900 lb gorilla groan today as the analysts and "journalists" prodded it with their pens and pencils. Let's hope they back off before it awakens. He will be mean, lean and unforgiving to those who shall stand it it's way.
