It would be nice to see CGI dip back into the $5 range again. Then I can load up. At this point with earnings coming out in the next few days I may not get my wish. I guess it will depend on what the earnings are and if they meet analyst's expectations. Regards Ken

Gilbert Thanks for making all these posts. I picked up 500 shares presplit at $40 and rode it all the way down. When, lately the stock was in the $3's I thought about doubling up but unfortunately did not! I knew this company was not going to fade away like some dot com. Now, the question is...at $6+ is it still a great opportunity. Regards, Lynn
