Anyone... Can you help me understand the bidsize/asksize numbers presented on such services as THompson Real TIme quotes and elsewhere? Do these refer to the number of actual bids and asks, or to the number of shares in the lots? How are these conventionally interpreted? If bid size is very high, does it indicate upward price movement? When they are about equal does it mean the price is stable for the time? TIA, Doug

WINSEYE ---The sharehoders meeting will be interesting for the following reasons : 1) inventory management will definitely be discussed ---this has nothing to with the DEC merger --- also INTC statement about seeing the light at the end of the tunnel yesterday had to be made with CPQ in mind . 2) Statement should be made tomorrow on the shareholder vote to aquire DEC - I know it should be a given but one more step on the path . 3) If INTEL can make positive statements on the PC market CPQ should be able to see thru the tunnel since they happen to be INTEL largest customer --- this might just happen to have a positive impact on the stock also ?
