I do love the company. I just cannot understand how they can have a guy like Mason as cfo. Two years running he has pulled these stunts. Just when it seemed that cpq was gaining respect, then this. My family has substantial funds invested in this laggard and it burns! Once cpq makes a move, if there has not been a shakeup at the top, I am gone. Are you reading this Ben???

Michael: CNBC has been all over the story in the WSJ that victor posted about CPQ increasing incentives on the Prosignia line. So far, they're just clipping quotes from the article without adding their own spin. I hope it stays that way, but the more they talk about it (especially with the futures being in the toilet) the more likely it will take on a negative connotation. BTW, just saw an ad that beats out the old COOL ad with the gerbils for bad taste. Have you seen the BUY.com one with the guy sniffing the dog?? K Well, maybe I spoke too soon - Michelle Caruso-Cabrera just did the CPQ story again saying, "We'll see if this news helps CPQ." Positive spin on CPQ from CNBC???
