Michael... VG was repeating a post that he/she made at the time of DELL's last earnings report when the Street wasn't thrilled with the numbers. Seems like CPQ has put out VERY LITTLE news this week which makes me believe that there will be MAJOR announcement on Tuesday next week which will be like a grenade lobbed into the DELL earnings party.

You feel good about CPQs prospects. I feel good about CPQs prospects. A number of analysts have voiced feeling good about CPQs prospects. Now that we are (hopefully) having the cloud of DELL move, so the sun can shine directly on CPQ, hopefully more investors will see all the positive things we on the thread have seen for a long time and invest their money in CPQ. Lynn BTW, I feel no joy for the pain a number of people on the DELL thread must be experiencing. The DELL longs should be fine. Its the DELL make-quick-money people, who jumped on DELL at current levels _assuming_ DELL would have a nice pop up before earnings, who will suffer. Many of these people only bought DELL for a quick hit, did not buy DELL as an investment.
