Tomcat: It is a question of dammned if you do and dammned if you don't. There is a lot of theorising about when brokerage houses knew. According to the reports, a group of analysts visited Houston on Thursday. So some of the late Thursday sales might be attributed to prior knowledge. (I don't know if the meeting was before or after market close). It is really important to realise that CPQ has not made an announcement and has not warned. Mason answered a question about how the quarter was going. He said it was slow in the first six weeks, had picked up in February and looked strong for March.
