Mike Gordon, I'm not really good at short term calls on stocks. I have been buying cpq for several years. Have some shares that are profitable, and some that are not. Overall, they are in the hole right now. (One purchase at 64 prior to split, did it to me. It is my most expensive purchase.) If price drops to 20, I will buy some more. If it drops to some where in the teens, I will buy again. Then I will have one more buy left to have a train full, or what I want to own. If the price starts climbing, I don't buy unless there is some sound reason to believe it is going to the moon.
Highly recommend the book. It is fast reading, not a technical tomb.
Just finished reading Fortune's article on analysts again. Considering the current state of INTC and CPQ, and the reasons for it, the article is much more interesting. Increases my respect for the calls some of these gentlemen made on the tech market. Wish I was a buy side client. If you haven't read already it's good.
