Lynn, With all due respect, CPQ's float is way to large to behave like an internet stock, it is not a probable scenario anyhow, but it might make this sloth get into the high 50's low 60's at which time I would take most of my profit and further diversify. YHOO float 98.7M CPQ well, somewhere near 1.7B RichieH

RE:"Having the price of CPQ behave like YHOO or the likes could actually hurt long term investors, some of whom do not hold shares of CPQ yet."... WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH A 1000% gain? Jim

Lynn, I hate to admit it, but you have a good point. The only way to dampen but not totally avoid this is a very short window of opportunity. Announcing date of record just a short time in advance. I don't know the legal requirements for such an announcement. NW
