Thread: read at your own risk. Disclaimer: this contains things I beleive in, read at your on risk, this is USA and I respect the rights of people to beleive as they will religiously and I will not ridicule them > It's the USA and we still can pray here. You don't have to believe this way and in fact..you have the right to never read another one of my posts. but, this is a true story and there are plenty of witnesses. Every time I express my free rights in this area... I get hate mail. It's very disappointing for the USA to be this intolerant. In dec 91 we have a purchase of 24 to 28 not adjusted for splits? adjusted for splits that is 3.5 to 3.7 a share.... dec of 91 was a rough yr. stk had crashed from a high of 75 and eventually wnet to 22.125 at it's lowest..don't remember the days of that low. it was 91 or 92. i actually had 3 dreams of that crash before it happened and I didn't get the interpretation.... In the dream I kept seeing cpq and my uncle who had recently purchased cpq and then I would see a 22 shell(bullet) next to a BB. so, it was 22.125... along the dream was a rushing stream of very muddy water running fast down a hill to the 22 shell and the BB. Had it three times but I didn't pray hard enough to get the devine interpretation.... so, I didn't sell anything. I got dreams of the 1987 and 1990 crash and took my stock out of the money before the crash...but not the mar 91 crash... Of course it didn't make any dif and in fact pulling out before the 87 and the 90 crash didn't really help. i wish I would have stayed in..I had to send the the IRS huge sums by selling. Buying cpq and just holding it and forgeting all the news and junk pays off. that's why I counciled allot of people during this last crash to stayy in cpq and stay in dell and don't listen to all the bears who just tried to scare people out of market.

thread, take my word for it..this isn't a real cpq crash.. it's a small one to be 19% from high... it's a nothing fallback. in the 31 pullbacks this one doesn't rank at all. Also, looking at real split adjusted numbers shows that in all cases the split had a run up.. looking at that logrithmic graph in value line doesn't show a split well. And, in 1990 we had the war that through us into a reccession. cpq announced a split when we were 40 moving to 50 and it went to 75. then in march of 1991 when cpq had made the marketing mistake the stk crashed. i think if cpq didn't have low cost pc and the push into the entertainment ctrs. and the tandem prodcut we would be heading toward another massive 80% pullback. But, you do have those moves and to top it off if you could see my new BTO prices , you would know that it's redcuing cost. I'll post them monday.

Hi Liam; I noticed you wrote: I've been holding my CPQ for the past six years (and as you know, it is worth 18+ times what it was in Dec '91 even at today's depressed price). I'm showing 91 sales per share of $5.18, while 97 sales are supposed to be something like 6.3 times that. Given that sales per share are up only 6.3 times, while the stock price is up 18+ times, how can you refer to the current stock price as depressed? Seems like you've got your numbers reversed... -- Carl
