H7H5 (P-R4) Yes, most people either love me or hate me. But it takes at least 99.9 % of them to get used to me. Acid humor, I suppose, but nothing meant in such a fashion to offend maliciously. Well, to tell the truth, I'm short this market. I had to go see my accountant and then pick up my son at the golf club where he caddies. I'm a bit annoyed, as I would have shorted more if I was not to be out of the house for so long. That accountant cost more than he's worth. But it was funny....some guys eating lunch asked me how I was doing and I told them it was the most money I ever made while having a drink. However I am sorry you are long in this.....this is a very precipitous situation here. I should have charged my accountant....he asked me for advice as we spoke. Anyway in my opinion, this is not going to play out well for the people who are long, at least through Monday. I don't know about a specific issue, like CPQ. Just generally the market seems rocky to me.
