williet, i used to buy and hold gateway 2000 before i actually owned a computer and were using the internet. i think back at how i determined when to buy and when to sell. i would watch cnbc in the evenings and do the library research. at times when i noticed that gateway would drop in price i would find out an analyst had downgraded it. what i am driving at is this. now i have the internet and have access to constant information. i seem to react more now that when i did not have this information. i am not talking solely about gateway, but in general with other stocks also. i think that sometimes too much information or noise causes people to react more often. i am a holder of cpq and will stick with the fundamentals until i find they change. then i will sell, whether i have a gain or loss. thanks for trying to calm down the person who was getting hyper over the day to day movements of compaq larry
