I am a financial analyst. The "analysts" you are referring to cannot find their gluteal muscles with both hands. You shouldn't be so hard on yourself. As long you admit it is conjecture on your part that Compaq will require a "substantial source of funding" to make it through this period, hopefully no one will take it for any more than that. wanna fight Where?

Chuzzlewit 'the arrogant', this is John 'the peripatetic' checking in. I have a question regarding the cash flow issue and it's ability to 'crush the stock'. I can see a company's shares taking a quick hit if a significant float of new stock is announced, but how about debt? Companies issue debt as a routine part of operations, in fact IBM is known for floating a few billion at opportune times. Is it because CPQ is essentially 'debt free' and this would be perceived as a negative? I realized there is a cost of servicing the debt, but that again would depend on the amount how quickly it is repaid. Thanks, John
