steve...there's an ad in the local paper today featuring CPQ computers. The highlighted offering is a desktop computer with a 14" monitor. They throw in a Lexmark color printer and offer 6 months of interest-free financing for $1039.00 with a $40.00 mfg. rebate. Final price, $999.00. I went over there and they were VERY busy! They said that they'd sell it for less if ya wanna haggle. What a deal!!! S.

Yes, I noticed CPQ is holding up relatively well, it was on the other side when CPQ was down from 66 to 56, I think it IS a good sign. I am new to CPQ, do they have a good credibility in making financial forecast? If yes, I think we longs don't need to worry 'cause what they said a few weeks ago painted a very rosy picture. Steve, you mentioned a lot of option play, but to small investors with only a few grams, I don't think option play is worth, is it? What do you think is the best way for small guys to play? Just buy and hold? Thanks. -William
