NW,
As far as I'm concerned, you're right. They screwed up. Had they just said they would spin off AV to shareholders the stock would have held up and they could have gotten through this. But no, they had to act like a couple of greedy, wishy washy turds. Too stupid to see that the stock had been bid up by those hoping to get a few shares of AV. When that evaporated, so did the stock and the handwriting was on the wall.
If new management would enhance shareholder value then they will be accepted. If not, I don't need them.
Jim

<<A different CEO and CFO with different talents are needed for Compaq to continue it's progress.>>

That's the same thing the CEO of Commodore computer said in 1984 when he stepped down. The company was never the same since then.

Anyway, I think CPQ is going in a good direction.
