ALL day Maria has been pointing to WED $.37 est earnings for CPQ with the tag line that .37 was 20% less than last year. If I am correct (1) that would have made last year .4625 ..... wasn't it $.43 ??? (2) Wasn't this the 'channel-stuffing' quarter with its associated un-real revenues and earnings ?? ...Why has this never been brought out?? .... It should mean that if CPQ did come in @ .37 it would be a gain NOT a 20% loss ... AND if CPQ come in @ my .44 est it would be a BLOW-OUT qtr ??? With all that's happening this week ... it's getting exciting ! Michael
