In the middle of all this gloom, your input is just totally surprising....where exactly do you find optimism in the current situation for CPQ? I'll spare you the list of all the negatives associated with this stupid stock, but if you ask me, I would guess they may pre-announce rather than beat estimates. Don't get me wrong, I am long CPQ and have been for over 2 years, but every time I remember selling EMC at 35 a year ago to buy this mess, I realize how messed up this management team is. This money has been dead for over a year, and probably will be for a long while from now. I thought this pig turned a corner till they surprised everyone with the lack of their credibility. I can still remember that idiot Mason saying on CNBC "I'm comfortable with the current quarter's estimates" like he knows shit, with a smile, a bit over a month ago. I see a lot of frivolous class action suits all over the place, funny they never hit companies that deserve them.
