>>>It has made me money since I posted a few weeks ago that I bought at $19 7/8ths and $20 1/4 (not to mention the small trade on Friday at $25 7/8ths).<<< When you returned to the board 2-3 months ago you must have bought your first position in the low 20s(23-24 as I recall), as CPQ had not yet traded under 20 at that time, so your comment kinda confuses me. It did hit an intraday low of 20 1/4 for about 2 minutes before bouncing back above 21 sometime during that period. El

victor, Reread my post when you have regained a sense of humor. I think you will then see that it was posted with a sense of humor. Perhaps not a great sense of humor, but humor was intended. I don't wish to debate history. What has been done is done. I am much more interested in the future. Good grief!! I spend a day without checking on the thread and it turns irrationally ugly. Is victor bitter about missing a buy at the bottom? Why is victor so negative this weekend? A fit of depression? A need to meanly bait someone? victor is Compaqless! There is the answer. victor is a Compaq addict. He is suffering Compaq withdrawal pains. He should buy at least 50,000 shares first thing Monday morning and sell 1,000 shares a day. The slow selling of Compaq shares is the only true cure for this vicious addiction. The true addict cannot sell all his shares for a loss and lead a normal happy life. NW
