What would help would be punctuation marks. .,!? Tony p.s. hate to repeat myself, and don't shoot the messenger, but the street does not like the buyout of DEC. 1. Similar size companies' mergers are difficult. 2. Big "culture" difference, CPQ and DEC. 3. DEC not perceived as a top computer company any more. 4. Boston Globe article today about big spending freeze at DEC. biz.yahoo.com Tony

Luis, I don't know where you could find 2000 shares for that price. But we really can't blame the CEO for that. It is the street that is taking its time. Mr. Pfeiffer has outlined his position over and over and is very bullish on his company. And we can't say that there has been no money made on this stock. I guess it is just a little stalled here due to the merger. I guess a lot of investors are a little hesitant to tie up there money before the merger is integrated. But if you are not heavily margined there should be no reason for you to sell, especially if you are long term oriented. I keep saying I am long term but I have to sell here and there so I have profits to off set my margin. I just decided to sell the whole thing. It is cheaper commission wise for me to sell 1 position than all different stocks. I am not using one of those ultra cheap brokerages. CPQ was lower than where it ended up and that should be a good sign. Someone bought my shares. gg. I could be back in CPQ in a New York minute. gg. All it needs is one move upward one day and then stay there. Like I said, if it moves I may have to go in higher. I will not let it get away from me. I think Mr. Pfeiffer knows what he is doing. Just relax, even if it should go down. We on here went through all this with Intel and we are not sorry now. The only reason that I mentioned my sale on CPQ is because I was very bullish on it and still am. Sonny
