< This is a bump in the road. All BIG companies have them.> Good advise. However, traders can minimize losses if they simply implement repair strategies by sell calls. No reason at the moment to think that CPQ is in serious trouble. What I don't understand is why didn't CPQ finance managers recommend a one time write off as opposed no earnings. This scares me. It says than no profit was made on a greater volume of sales as opposed to a drain on profits due to a unique expenditure (s). Mike Gordon
