Hey "new guy" on the block. Holding CPQ two years barely qualifies you to post here. I've got some 95 CPQ klassic stock in the two and a half bagger territory and I'm still not happy with it. Before that I traded CPQ some. I hate to admitt also holding one batch foolishly purchased in the high 40s. So "new guy" don't talk about patience with this crew. Most of us have bought Compaq in every crummey market that came along over the years. Asian Flu, September stumbles, and October collapses. Pardon us if we are not happy with the a$$holes that stuffed the channel, and lied about it. All the while, smiling and talking about being a fifty billion dollar company by 2000. Pardon us for wondering about the current management's slowness in cutting expenses after buying DEC. He!!, it's only been a couple of years, what's the big hurry? They wrote off the expense against the profits, now they need to get on with it. It's not enough to execute part of the plan, they need to execute the whole plan. Managers are fired for anything less. That is why they get paid the big bucks. The only reason I'm still here is the corporate plan and products to back it up are making great progress. I hope the new CFO furnishes the expense reduction to go along with it. MC doesn't look like he is going to do it. Thank you for furnishing an outlet for my pent up frustration today. Nothing personal "New Guy." My patience just gets a little thin ever now and then. I feel better now that I have vented some. NW

>>>I can't stand people who think they have to have a return tout suite. I held ORCL for 2 years before I made anything on it....now I'm happy I've had it for 2 1/2. AAPL, same story, shorter timeline. Anyone who's looking for 25% in 30 days...go away. I'm up about 50%in 3/4 months.<<< If you consider nearly 3 years "tout suite," then give me one of whatever you're drinking! And if you're up 50% on CPQ in 3-4 months, you must have bought it at about 17. I guess I was at the range the day it hit that level. Sorry that you "can't stand" some of the people here, but many of us were here long before you came on the scene, so perhaps you should seek out another thread on which to boast and condemn. Don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on your way out. El
