Don't want to bore the whole board with this. About HEAR. I'm still in it. Almost sold (& even shorted yesterday, but got chicken.)This stock is being totally manipulated now and since all of you by now have probably closed your 2nd and 3rd positions, I'm wondering again, since this is a SAM etc, whether anyone except this thread and the mm's have any interest in this stock. I looked at historical chart and discovered that next step down is 13. Can't see any point in "averaging down"until it reaches the low point where you all might start buying back in...there just isn't enough volume. That trading range seems to be between 11-14. Of course it was dumb of me not to sell when everyone else did, but now that I'm here would it be possible for you to give me some idea of recovery time frame or what price you might figure on buying back as 2nd & 3rd trading positions. Please remember that I am trying to see how this thing works for a person who tunes in late. (and that I bought this before you told me to wait etc) It seems that one simply follows the flow of the mm's. Thinking of selling at a loss now and buying in later, rather than holding or averaging down. I know it's a good company etc...but I've been holding CPQ for a long time waiting for it to recover, and it may still take awhile. This is not a complaint...though it would have been helpful, since you did post when you bought at 22, if you mentioned when you sold. The old timers "know the drill", so to speak, but I'm still learning. I do, by the way know about long term investments, but I hate the involuntary ones. Well all for now...the market will,no doubt, give me the answer pretty quick. Thanks for listening.
