Currently $29 7/8 x $29 15/16. I operate by one basic axiom when gambling....eh, investing(that's right, this is WALL STREET where gambling is known euphemistically as "investing, speculating, etc."--all a gamble by any other name). That axiom is buy when there's blood in the streets, and sell when people are euphoric. Compound this with the megaphone people(read here, alllll those folks who analysis equities), bleeting out their current recommendations, which will predictably be followed by a new recommendation any day/week now, me thinks now's the time to pick up some quick coinage(I bought CPQ today at a lower price than that mentioned above). One thing is certain in this game, the players always overreact. So all ya gotta do is wait for the over-reaction and then act accordingly. Will I stay in CPQ longer than an instant? Perhaps.....but I'll know when that instant occurs. Good luck to all, regardless of your gambling strategy. John~
