hio, the timing of this press release is awfully close to the massive tanking the stock did today when it lost the huge bid support at 25. I also suspect that there may have been a lot of stop sell orders at just below 25 which triggered the avalanche... I predict a quick spike up tomorrow morning. Then the shorts will cover and we slowly crawl back to close near 27 1/2 by Friday. Just IMHO, and I do not think the sky is falling, not at Compaq, anyway, Piotr
