Whys1, Where did you find that information? I have been daytrading CPQ and have had an order in forever for 23. It wasn't filled and I finally went for 23 1/16. Can you tell who has the orders in??? I had an order for around 5,000 shares that set for almost 40 min.s and was never filled. I day trade all the time and I think the market makers or someone big is buying up every sell at 23 or below. Usally my trades are filled in a few mins.Your thoughts or ideas. Maybe you or someone else knows how to read this movement better than me. At any rate, this is a great daytrading stock for small pops. Anyone else out there doing day trades and increasing the shares they own at this bottom level.

Since Heil has already taken another job it doesn't seem that this was an action initiated by Rosen. I disagree - any senior exec who had a hand in the shortfall would be prudent to have dusted off his resume and checked the provisions in his lifeboat. I would think that about the only one of EP's reports who is completely out of danger is the new consumer head, Mike Larson (i think!) who had only been on the job a month, and who had the only group which clearly blew out both revenue and profit numbers while recording record growth. There was a suggestion in early April that EP might offer Heil up as a "sacrificial lamb" - someone to hold accountable for the 1Q problems, much as Roel Pieper was used in January 1998.
