I think you'll often find that sellers through Instinet or after-market trading on the PSE would have received better prices if they had waited for the following trading day. There should be a bounce. That said, I think CPQ has a difficult transition ahead of it - from a high cost box maker to a computer services company that offers enterprise solutions. Its now pretty obvious why Intel's sales were off this quarter, as had been widely supposed in media coverage. I sold my CPQ on thursday 2/26 after the price eroded so badly. The writing on the wall doesn't get more plain than that.

I agree, they should give their warnings during market hours. Give the little guys a chance. Oh well, don't fret CPQ will be back just give it a little time. P.S The tell tale sign was when they pulled out of the conference! Nigel
