<I don't believe you can easily manipulate this stock either but a little nudge 5% one way or another is possible, especially right now with the market already edgey with the merger deal and its unknowns.> Riechers: Help me understand. 5% of the daily volume on CPQ is 1.0Mil. Therefore, in order to influence this stock, I would have to invest $32.5 Mil probably for several days to get the desired response. Thought I'm sure many funds can easily afford the cash, I don't view this as a responsible way to make money investing. A simple hit in the tech group would jeopardize this attempt quickly.
