To ALL CPQ LONGS (and shorts) The quiet period ends on March 9 (SEC regulatory approval or rejection deadline)also on or before March 15 European regulatory approval (or rejection) is expected. Future estimates about the merged companies may be made after these dates. This info was deduced after much haggling with investor relations department of CPQ today by me.

Luc...I hear what you are saying as far as deals being pre-empted. In this case if the deal was kibosched CPQ would probably go up in the short run, but this is a long run strategy. Still it is not likely the deal will fail and I stillehaven't been hearing any negatives on it except ther will be some digestion problems assimalating the two. Duh, what merger doesn't have hitches? What company starts a new platform on their own without hitches? You can lead or get out of the way and that is what we are witnessing.
