What do you say Vic? Is there anybody getting excited about the trading action in CPQ the last couple of weeks. The stock is spinning it's proverbial wheels and going absolutely nowhere. It is a real tribute how much interest there is in this chat thread, and the stock itself, seeing as there really is absolutely nothing to say about CPQ. From the severe drop off, on warning day April 9th, 3 weeks ago, the stock is +- 0! Hell of a move. The next big thrill will be the appointment of a CEO. I can't wait, the stock might go up a 1/4! Sound pissed? You bet! Much better places to invest, but I'm impressed with the large following this "Dog of a stock" has. Will it come back? Sure it will! Will we get old? Sure we will!....We hope! Good luck guys! You'll need it! Howie Howie

victor, I read the Business Wire story. I visited the web site. After following my usual DD, I determined it had to be a fraud. I did not sign up. I posted the link to the web site here and fished for a second opinion. You and Lynn spotted it as a fraud right away. It did take me a while to realize it was a joke. The real hook was the Business Wire story. If your mind is in making investments, you may not recognize humor for what it is worth. NW
