Howie... we have had almost no significant news from CPQ for some time. No news on AV spinoff, no news on a content provider for AV, no strategy reports, no news of pacts with other companies, etc. I would guess that CPQ has known of this major shortfall for sometime and have a well thought out and orchestrated script laid out in their defense to assuage the shareholders over the next 2 weeks. Innovate will probably bring good news this week and I'm certain that the big announcements will come at the shareholders meeting on 4/22. Whether this "gift news" designed to compensate for the shortfall will be able to bring the stock back to 30 over the next 3 weeks is doubtful, but I'm sure it will help bolster the shares. I'm not certain that there is news grand enough to bail out the stock now, unless they announce a buyout @ 40 by MSFT(jjajaja), do you know what news might get WS reinterested quickly???? When you think about it, WS is no better than the bums who run CPQ. The almighty dollar ruuuuuuules!!! El
