Hi Diane,

Hard question for me to answer re. MSFT or CPQ.

Please consider the following:

1) No matter what you decide to buy, always resist buying at the market open. You might have to pay a little more later for a desired stock, but it would be a lot safer to buy it on the way up. (Never catch a falling knife, as they say.)

2) If you want to establish a new position in CPQ and wish to do so as soon as possible, the prudent thing to do would be to average in--some before the MSFT/IBM earnings and some afterwards.

3) I see the market range-bound until November FOMC meeting (or close to it) and then perhaps take off for the Holidays, if God's willing.

4) Just speculating here: the next high tech sector that could lift the Naz out of the doldrums might be the networkers. CSCO reports the first week of November, and I have a gut feeling that the numbers (or conference calls afterwards) might soothe Wall Street's nerves.

5) Didn't you have some MSFT already? If not, spread the funds to diversify. Hard to compare apples with peaches.

6) I am currently 90% invested; my very conservative NY brokers told me last Friday they didn't see a crash on the horizon, and I kinda agree.

Good night and good investing,
Ibexx
