IMO, it's important to watch the last hour of trading...better indication of what the big players think of earnings and CC than intraday up to this point. Gerry

Yeah. I just said to myself at the beginning, this one will be a sitter, not to trade. That's why it's in our IRAs. I have played the margin too close with CPQ, and still am, ouch!!

TO ALL: Boy, are we a bunch of manic-depressives. Our problem is, we took the glowing reports from Red Chip Review to mean that TAVA would jump 2, 3, even 4 points. Most of you are experienced investors. How many times has a stock tanked on the very day of SENSATIONAL news! It happens over & over & over. If the news is legit, that stock always comes back stronger than ever. A few weeks ago, some pointy-headed analysts were telling us that CPQ was finished for roughly the rest of the year. "No way they're gonna be a factor 'till at least the next time the Cubs win the pennant (maybe a poor example with their hot rook).Huge inventory backup...Japanese problems; blah, blah, blah." After an initial drop, CPQ proceeds to gain about 9 points. Remember the oil service stocks? Now there's bad news. Again,a few months ago, the talking heads had these stocks buried for YEARS to come. Wish I'd have bought RIG, and a bunch of others at that time. It wasn't a terrible TAVA CC. It just didn't live up to the hyper-expectations of this thread. So why did TAVA stumble today? Who in the hell knows...or cares? NMS is fantastic news. The future looks white hot. Pre-NMS, only 12 funds hold TAVA. Post NMS, the sky is truly the limit. This company is past the potential stage. Re-read the press release. Listen to the conference call once again. Don't base your entire TAVA experience on one lousy day.So Cindy Crawford belches on your first date. Why? Who in the hell knows...or cares? One final example: A few months ago, ABTX had to restate earnings. OH MY GOD!!! The big tumble. Yesterday, CNBC raves about its position in the seed & turf arena. Whoosh! Stick around for the TAVA Whoosh.
