Tax loss question & Compaq. If I sell some of my Compaq shares to off set gains on other stocks, do I have to wait a certain amount of time before I can re-purchase Compaq stock in order to use that loss to off set capital gains? Thanks Mark Ausenhus

WSJ reports the Micorage and CPQ inventory situation - problem? The bloodshed took its toll on all tech stocks, from the giant International Business Machines, which fell 3 7/8 to 106 1/2, to the smaller tech stocks, such as MicroAge, which tumbled 23% after failing to meet analysts' expectations. Woes at MicroAge, a computer reseller, spread to a bellwether high-tech firm, Compaq Corp., as MicroAge noted it has a higher-than-expected inventory of Compaq computers and that Compaq has approached it and other distributors about taking more product.
