Dear NW: Thanks for the good laugh:<p><br> >I LOVE THIS STOCK!!<br><br> > IT'S GONNA MAKE ME RICH!!<p><br> Hummmmmm... now that I think of it, maybe you are right. Instead of a pure tech stock, maybe CPQ is going through a transformation and is becoming a dividend play.<p><br> Elderly person in FL retirement village to (equally elderly) friend: I don't care what price the stocks in my portfolio are. All I care about is the dividend.<p><br> Friend: Me, too. I need my dividends to live. What are your favorite high percentage dividend paying stocks?<p><br> Elderly person: PPL, FTU, and CPQ.<p><br> Friend: CPQ?!? What does CPQ do?<p><br> Elderly person: No idea but it pays a great dividend and the company has increased it every year since they started paying it.<p><br> Regards,<p><br> Lynn<br>

Taken from: Friday, June 30, 2000 Compaq recovering --11:02 am - By Susan Lerner Shares of Compaq Computer (CPQ: news, msgs) are recovering Friday, rising 13/16 from Thursday's NYSE close to 25 5/16 as the Street jumps to the computer maker's defense following Salomon Smith Barney's downgrade of the stock, which left shares with a 14 percent loss Thursday. After the close Thursday, Compaq responded to the downgrade with a press release in which it stated it was "comfortable with channel inventory levels." Firms including Prudential, Donaldson Lufkin Jenrette and Merrill Lynch have all come out in support of Compaq. Typical were comments from DLJ analyst Kimberly Alexy who told clients that Thursday's weakness presents investors with "an immediate buying opportunity" and said she still feels profitability trends are tracking ahead of plan. www2.marketwatch.com Lynn
