While CRM may make new highs due to winning high profile customers like DELL, Japan Post Citigroup, TPX is all set to make new lows because of the housing market turmoil. Ultimately TPX derives its revenue from selling mattresses and if the housing sales continue to be sluggish, TPX will suffer due to poor sales.
