Scott...We will make ourselves crazy/crazier if we monitor the shares every minute. The big picture indicates that CPQ is headed due northeast and that's what counts. When CPQ(andI)are having a bad day, I get the ole 5 yr. chart out and remember that one day does not a stock make. If you are fortunate enough to be able to hold this stock looooooooong-term, I'm sure you will be rewarded....eventually. Stephen

Scott Nice chart. Local radio news station has a good business report. This morning they had a relatively long comment about Asian Flu. Stated that US companies derive less then 5% of profit from Asian sales. Stated stock market has way over reacted to economic problems of Asia. This evening on the nightly business news a commodity expert explains why 4 commodities are down so badly. They are big exports to asia. Copper, corn, cotton, & (another food base item)?. Then he has to go into how this is going to impact our economy. But, I don't think his more widely viewed report is going to help things tommorow. Most people can't tell the difference between the impact on commodities and stocks right now. Think it is time to do steve's bull option spread on some cpq options. Any suggestions? NW
