CJ, <just ask any who have been around any length of time if they could have done better in others,,,> I accept your question ... Yes, I could have done better than 110% over my initial CPQ investment. Then I could have done a lot worse in many, many supposedly good issues. CJ, unfortunately you must keep showing yourself as a clown, who must keep repeating himself, must keep repeating the same statements (maybe in some way your are correct ... but repeating it constantly is boring, at best), you are a negative person who just enjoys grishering (that's a yiddush word which basically means putting a knife into someone but not enjoying it until you keep turning and turning it once its in) ... it's unfortunate since there is a hint of intellect there. Do as you wish, and I am sure you will ... unfortunately you must be a very lonely mean boring person. Michael

The truth is, I don't care about it's history. I'm doing very well in it. Could I do better elsewhere? Possibly, but unlikely unless I was willing to take a heavier amount of risk. When you consider my relative weight in winners like ORCL, AOL, GE and MFNX, I had to find some good values that wouldn't expose me to much risk (I consider GE low risk, but the others were pure risk when I bought in). I won't let "the truth" about CPQ bother me, because the truth is your perspective is tainted.
