Victor, I agree "a nice solid base" is what we have. Good time to make an investment, probably too boring for trading for a while. How do you think CPQ will hold up if we get a 10% correction? Whys1

victor...The CEO trio's first task is to stabilize CPQ: 1. Prevent further stock decline 2. Build credibility where it might have been lost (investment community, vendors, customers, internal management) 3. Disseminate some information...careful not to cause further damage. 4. Assess corporate situation and strategies 5. Assess market conditions 6. Evaluate the assets CPQ has available and how to properly integrate them into the market. The "Verbatim" posts...were very interesting..... Although it was necessary to hold such a meeting to stabilize the moral, the contents was mainly to stop any panic internally and reassure management of a positive course, revitalizing positive momentum. Text book stuff....the trio needs breathing space to do a "situation analysis". Loki
