Good post, Obewon. I also now recall (thanks to your reminder) that it was Microage which was cited earlier in the so-called channel stuffing context. There is so much information and misinformation being disseminated about compaq that I have to repeat once more that we are in a period of uncertainty which will not end until merger plans are detailed and hard facts and figures are published. The stock price is clearly drifting down but I am confident that this investment will pay off in the long run and that we will not experience a major selloff or crash of this stock. dulane

Obewon... "PROFIT and GREED. Enough said."

Informative post on both accounts.

As far as "profit" and "greed" is concerned they
could be redundant. The other motivating factor
to make a decision in FEAR.

FEAR and GREED generally motivate us to make our
investment decisions. Usually at a DELAYED response
to market conditions. One must bridle the urges.

Greed = BUY
Fear = SELL

However, all decisions in life are made to either be
better off than we are now or... not be worse off
than we are now.

OB...Please don't insult this thread with an IPO Micro-Age Analogy. CPQ is not a Micro.Yada,,Yadaaa,Yahaa company.

Obewon: Thank you for a well thought out perspective, you seem to make lot of sense and yes I too did hear about that Microage situation. As the 'channel stuffing' question has been hounding CPQ for quite a while,unless and untill CPQ proves the Street it ain't so, we might be in for a rough ride, justifiably or not.
