>>>Watch for a $3 pop tomorrow. Number of analysts upgrading CPQ tomorrow. <<< I would be interested in hearing just how you could know that there will be upgrades tomorrow. LJM

aftab... Is the Jabil reference your only reason for estimating a $3/share increase tomorrow? If not please be kind enough to share any other relevant information upon which you base this strong statement. I would be interested. Should you be following this thread you must surely know of posts 1 1/2 weeks ago predicting $40/share by Feb. 27. In retrospect that looks rather suspect, at this moment. Loki

>>I've seen this downgrade manipulation few weeks ago in JABIL >>CIRCUITS when the stock crashed to $33. now just 3 weeks later >>it is trading in the high $50's. I don't believe comparison to JBIL is valid. The market cap on JBIL means much higher volatility. Your comment implies that the same COULD happen to CPQ, but I don't agree because it will take a lot of money to move the price of CPQ up to the high $40s, much less the high $50s. I bought CPQ because I believe that DEC will benefit CPQ, but I also think, in retrospect, that I jumped in too aggressively, thinking that the market would be quick to see the benefits. My read of the recent downtrend is to agree with those who say that some evidence of the positives must be evident first. Actually, I do not disagree with this being downgrade manipulation, at least to some extent, but there is a risk of trend reversal here that I did not expect prior to last week. I was expecting a nice, clean flag to develop for a consolidation, which IMHO would have been a clearly bullish indicator. Ed Miller
