By Shawn Langlois, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 2:42 PM ET Dec 13, 2000 NewsWatch Latest headlines Get Alerted SAN FRANCISCO (CBS.MW) -- Another day, another warning ... surprise, surprise! At this point, Compaq shareholders have become quite adept at the grin-and-bear-it strategy. And yes, they were forced to put this approach to work once again on Wednesday when the box-making giant warned of lower fourth-quarter sales and profits. See full story. With the Nasdaq continuing its wretched slide, shares of Compaq (CPQ: news, msgs) dipped 10 percent and sent thick-skinned shareholders to the message boards in droves. On Silicon Investor, ElwoodDowd typified the frustration rampant in cyberspace: "This stock is dead money. I'd rather shovel snow than watch this pig agonize. I can't imagine what would/could be a catalyst, other than a nice earnings report, to move this stock up anytime soon. Means to me that we are stuck in this range for at least 3 months. I doubt that Q1 will be anything to write home about. I've found that that one can be more accurate in thinking the worst with this company than thinking the best."
