williet,
I like the term. I haven't had this RT service long enough to have a feel for large trades in CPQ. However, yesterday afternoon there was only one trade over 10,000 shares.

williet: There is an old term for what is happening----CLIMAX SELLING.

Not if volume is any indication - and it is. Do you expect volume to pick up dramatically this afternoon? Why? What is the "catalyst" for a climax sell-off?

I beg to differ, Williet. Climax selling should be on fantastically higher than normal volume... CPQ hasn't even done 6 mil shares and it's already noon early in the week. This ain't no climax yet, but it might be coming...
