You can take the pig outta the farm but you can't take the farm outta the pig. El

Andreas, Gotta tell you, trading is the ONLY way to make money in CPQ UNTIL they get positive results and momentum across several quarters. Best thing I ever did was sell all my CPQ at 48 when it had the run to 51. Since then, I've been able to pile up a fair number of points in the pig via buying in the low 20's and once in the high teens. It just doesn't (yet) pay to hold it. I've been waiting for the pig to prove me wrong and it hasn't yet. Frankly, I'm thinking about whether to sell out some relatives positions also. Put them in during the last debacle into the teens, and they have 50% gains, but I don't want them to turn into 15% gains. Best regards, John
