yes, i worked there, but why did I put my 401k in cpq stk and have cpq match it 100% in stk in 401k and why did i buy cpq on bad retreats with my own money.
I already had employee stk options...
so, when everybody else at cpq was diversifying..i didn't...
i don't call that luck...
no one at cpq did this...absolutely no one.
in fact I was laughed at for a long time for doing this...
so, that isn't luck

Vince... Be careful... There is no such thing as luck.

Luck is the ability to recognize or utilize resources in identifiying
which opportunities to take and which to let go (equally important).

hpeace gave us the opportunity to take his advice concerning another
stock about which he feels confident, yesterday. I plan to e-mail
and see.

Knowledge from employees (or former) can be extremely important to understand what moves company.
