Stephen, good purchase! I'm upset because I tapped myself out buying more at 35 and 32. Even those purchases will look good this summer. Not as good as your 27+ though. Wish I could be buying today. Robbie

Today is a great buying opportunity!!! I Picked up 2000 at 74 1/4 and will unload them $28 + I'll keep my core holdings and continue to write calls. It is not all doom and gloom. I was one of those dummies that bought at $75.00 in september. However, I wrote covered calls and have been doing it since September/97. In doing so I have been able to get my average cost on my core holdings down to a tad below $30.00. Have also traded cpq with my none core holdings periodically for spreads of 3/8 to $1.00. Good luck to all and don't get too worried. CPQ isn't going to stay in the dumper forever.
