Peacelover - Satyr is correct in one respect. This stock was in the doghouse long before the Smith Barney downgrade. In my opinion, it has not traded in a 'normal' fashion since the day earnings were announced in October. Compaq exceeded estimates that day, announced a split, and CFO Mason has been making positive comments ever since. Yet, the stock promptly dropped 27 points. Compaq's peer companies have recovered nicely and one (that shall remain nameless <gggg>) has soared to a level where it is worth more than Compaq itself. Look at a chart of Compaq, the stock is around 8 points off it's lows of last fall. What would you term this kind of performance from the PC 'market leader' in an environment where the DOW has rallied 1000+ points. John
