Actually, yes I'm happy CPQ is going negative. Not because any of you are losing money if you're long, but simply because I'm short. After all, someone's gotta lose for the other to win - that's what makes a market. I'm not saying I make money all the time, and anyone who does is probably lying. But with CPQ, it's headed lower - that's just the sentiment and the momentum. No one is piling money into this stock, and everyone's looking for a reason to hurt it. I've learned not to fight the trend, and it's clearly lower. That's why I've been short it since 46... I may reenter, but not until CPQ's proven they can make money and continue to grow. All they've shown is that management is deceptive, they are probably still stuffing the channel and maybe someday they'll do something with the golden fortune they've lost by not doing anything significant with AV. Anything else? I don't think so, but CPQ is clearly looking to head below 30 again...eom
