Nice metaphor john. I totally agree with you. Yet, I feel sorry for CPQ shareholders...I am not as patient as they have been. When a company does not execute consistently, I move on -- sometimes losses can be compensated for much more quickly than people realize....it's a stockpicker's market ...And IMHO MSD will continue to give shareholder GOOD REASONS to pick his stock <GG>..!!
