Alex:I am not going to advise you to Buy hold or Sell. You alone have to make that decision. The facts about the last Q are now known. If they had decided to cut R&D they would have had near $60m profit. So why would a Company shoot itself by reducing the Profit at the expense of R&D. To me it seems like short term pain for long term gain.

personally, I'm very depressed. I am leveraged to the hilt and this pig is my biggest position. I didn't sell today but I sure don't have the balls(or stupidity, or brilliance?) to buy more. Just dumbfounded. I had always thought this was a quality company. After listening to the conference call, I think I got bagged by a good orator with lawyers looking over his shoulder. CB had nothing substantial to say that would make any normal person buy when their are so many other companies running on all cylinders or market leaders who are cheap as well. I will try to pull a Rip Van Winkle and hope for the best.
