"Hey, I rode CPQ" rudedog, oh yes, I remember CPQ, trading near $80 before the split on record earnings. It backed off to $69, on a Friday when I bot. The next Monday I got up & checked the Markets, Dow & Naz both down 100's of points, CPQ trading at $60. I was wondering how anyone could lose $9,000 overnight. It actually recovered to $69 but I refused to sell until it lost back to the low 60's, but I did sell taking a loss. I knew it's OK to sell a loser at any time, but my timing was'nt very good back then. That was probably 5 or 6 yrs ago and that stock has'nt done nothing since. JH
