Thanks, Just sold 1/2 HWP position at 74 5/8 (gain 12+, 20% less than 2 weeks.....). Still have another 1/2. If HWP goes South 7% - 10% correction as analysts', I am still ahead... Economic data, FED raise interest rate & BAD earning.... I am still OK. If u found another upgrade, please post.... LONG HWP!!! Just like my PFE...

As a long-term holder of HWP, (it pays me a good dividend from my original investment), I am still amazed at the resiliency and unpredictablity of the stock price. After 2 years of essentially no growth, I had my finger on the sell trigger when the upgrade propelled the stock. Taxes held my trigger finger in check. I now, once again, feel that I am inadequate in timing a stock price, but not too bad at picking companies that go up. I'm holding on until I need or want the money, or if the basic picture changes. However, whenever I go to CompUSA or other computer stores, I am told that sales of HW PC's are jumping off the shelves. Remember the long-term potential of Verifone and digital photography. good investing -- fred
