In spite of all the knocks, blocks, bad talk, gloom and doom, CPQ is up 3/8 or so! Long ways to go yet and we aren't out of the woods, but this is still pretty amazing!!

victor: Since I am not included among your "friends" I suppose I should not express my astonishment to find you sold all your CPQ weeks ago. Is that what your position is here? While you may not find it of import, others might weigh remarks one way or another based on an assessment of position -- whether a poster is long, short or empty handed. You have apparently been empty handed for weeks and didn't consider that relevant? I find that a bit disingenuous. As far as my own holdings are concerned, I have a chunk of CPQ, although it is somewhat smaller than it once was, thanks largely to share price declines. Nevertheless, my stake in CPQ is now apparently greater than yours!!! SO is Jimbo's!!! However, my CPQ holdings -- large, small, medium -- are of no particular interest to this thread since I have not been providing hourly commentary on the fortunes of the company and share price. I already realized some time ago that I was wrong in my assessment of operations in Houston. Rather than deliver seemingly authoritative analyses based on illusions I decided to make some money. As far as Kenya AA is concerned, you should address your feelings to "she/he." Regards, M2

victor: Re So are you another happy holder, like your buddy Kenya, who held his/her shares from an all-time high in January 1998 until they got back to the price he/she paid for them in about November 1998, at which point he/she promptly sold them. I heard that she/he owns 1,000 Compaq on this thread and 100 on the Jimbo thread - it's called creative accounting. Well, I see your accounting of my CPQ trades is still about as accurate as your accounting of your own. I've had to retrieve this post on my 9/22/97 CPQ buy to "correct" your purposely erroneous recounts so often, I saved it on a floppy: Message 6997613 Pretty sad that you're spewing the same crap after all these months. No, pathetic is more like it. And if I stated that I owned 1,000 shares of CPQ on this thread at any time after March 11 (which I highly doubt), it was a typo on 100 shares. I never write out "1,000" - I always use "1K." With any luck, you were being truthful about going away for a few days. K
