El, there was nothing personal in that. I specifically pointed out that there is nothing that can be said or done for people who got in at higher levels...and that's unfortunate. But it's part of the market. However, there are certain others here who have made disparaging comments despite not being down all that much. What I find particularly humorous in this thread is the bipolar nature of virtually everyone on it. You were so positive as little as 3 weeks ago, but now are turning bitter about the stock. Again, I understand your pain, but venting isn't going to make good things happen. At best, you'll feel better - but potentially confuse or scare other small investors interested in the possibility of turnaround. At worst - you'll be right and CPQ will tank (which is totally unlikely) further. As for the 50%, I said ABOUT...and that includes dividends. Make it 43%, and you'll be dead on (for today).
