NW.... I was in BBY today. The computer department was packed. Here's another post from the Zoo proclaiming CPQ a undiscovered internet play. El CMGI by: crushdell 12/12/99 7:22 pm Msg: 123219 of 123221 "CPQ is making close to 2 BILLION DOLLARS profits, in its CMGI stake... their investment was @$100 a share....not bad..and there is more to come.... happy holidays to all...... " CMGI $4.2 BILLION ICGE $1.1 BILLION ASKJ $451 MILLION NZRO $194 MILLION AV $1.5 BILLION (Just an approximation) I know they own a stake in RHAT but don't know how much. It's $275 a share. Probably many others. This is over $7 billion alone. When do we get valuations like CMGI or ICGE? Compaq is a big, big internet play. Not just because of these investments. It's the products and services they offer to companies that use the web. Companies can't afford NOT to use the internet. This is just the beginning. The street, while downplaying CPQ, is loading up. Once these greedy bas*ards get enough then they'll tell us what most of us already know. BUY CPQ.
