Quent: Without looking at a dictionary, I think "pessimist" means someone who expects the worst and "optimist" someone who expects the best. Since Captain owns COMPAQ stock I think he is an optimist.

His caution, sometimes incorrectly labelled "negativism" or "pessimism" by some COMPAQ longs, has proven more accurate for the better part of a year than the incaution of many COMPAQ bulls in that same time.

We are all optimists vying for accuracy.
