Off topic. Gottfried, I own a bunch Of CPQ. I bought it just as It started comming up from the Crash. I have much more in $ turms in CPQ than IOM. CPQ wants to be the next IBM considering there last takeover. I would call CPQ safer than IOM when IOM reaches the mid teens. I think IOM is safer now than CPQ on turms of Valuation. I am considering selling 1/2 my CPQ to buy IOM. I held CPQ through the split and Quarterly report. CPQ did beat Est. But i'm thinking the company they took over has had a lot of red ink for quite some time. So I'm uneasy about what they can add to CPQ's bottom line in the near turm. Monday Ill probably drop 1/2 CPQ to buy more IOM. I think in the short turm IOM will pay off much better than CPQ. Rember I was willing to adverage down with IOM when I got in at 8 1/2 Willing to go %100 IOM if it ever hit 7 1/4. I wish I bought more IOM earler ... Oh well. I'm probably going to buy in any dip. I think know IOM is very strong. I belive IOM will open up above 9 1/4 probably around 9 7/16. I think that is a safe bet. I see strong restance on CPQ at 32 1/2. Best to you Bob

*OT*I bought CPQ a few mo. ago. I purchased it with a long term hold in mind. They recently took over DEC and I think analysts are worried about the consolidation of the two co. In the near term it may not go up quickly but the future looks good as I think they will surpass IBM and be #1. Their CEO is very aggressive and upbeat. (Wish some of that would rub off on KE.) I don't know how to time the market so when to buy is a personal decision. We have uncertain times now with Zippergate, Iraq, Asia etc. SR
