I think that the immediate effect of a step down would be viewed as positive by the street. I am assuming that a prominent ceo/cfo would be brought into the fold to assume the helm. As far as the street's perception of Cpq, I don't feel that they have earned the same degree of trust afforded to other more "honest" companies. How could they? Last year's debacle and now this, certainly will not encourage investors toward believing anything coming out of Houston. Also, let's remember the AV joke and how that mishandled announcement fortified investor confidence. Sorry for my tone, but I am pissed. I have lost opportunity and I have nothing to show for my faith in this company's management. I fear the worst is still to come. Hoping for a bounce next week so that I can roll into txn and amat.

Regards,

Ira

If 5fer and Mason leave CPQ, especially at the same time, I would be concerned the street would interpret the departures as meaning major problems within CPQ and would expect the share price to drop. After the drop, I would anticipate a prolonged period of stagnation [stock price] until the street got a handle on their replacements and how they were doing.

Maybe rudedog remembers the impact of Ron Canion's departure on CPQ shares.
