Mohan, the following is a true story. After the market closed today I went to the gym. Saw a guy I know who happens to be a stock broker. He looked awful, so I ask him what was wrong. He told me that he had just put a number of his clients into Cpq. Then the news hit. I thought the poor guy was going to "shoot himself". He expects to lose a few clients come this Monday. In fact, he is thinking of leaving the brokerage business and finding other employment. I asked him why he put his clients into Cpq. He said, because its a cheap stock. Well, its now even cheaper. I tried to cheer him up, but don't think I was successful. As I said, true story. Stock Bull

Mohan: Why wouldn't an honest and gutsy ANALyst issue a SELL rating on CPQ and say the only way to play in the hardware field is with DELL??....Oh, I guess too many interest groups might be involved...got to keep those I-Banking relationships intact (afterall CPQ is notorious for over-paying to acquire companies)...<VBG> DELL is making life DIFFICULT for competitors.....ANALysts are struggling to figure out what it all means...
