rudedog, Thank you for taking the time to point out important and logical thinking about CPQ service. I am over here in a snit fit, mowing my grass with a vengeance....not taking much time, well any time, to look at the other side of the issue. I feel better now. Also, I don't know how old anybody is but, I have had a childhood memory come to me since the recent price movement in the stock. Remember when you were about 10 years old and you and your friends would throw coins into the "15 feet" section of the pool. We would all dive in...it seemed like it took a long time to get down there and of course the water pressure began to work against you. You picked up that coin and looked to the surface with a "push off" from the bottom. When you finally burst through the surface, very out of breath, you held proudly and very high that coin. This memory came to me this week after I finally came from "underwater" on this stock. Thanks to everyone for all your meaningful, thoughtful posts. I read them daily. Later. Susanne.

Hi, I have been a lurker on this site for several months and have appreciated the valuable insights many of you have provided. I have thus far used a discount broker to buy/sell shares in tech companies, which have been my primary focus. However, I felt handicapped by the limited access to research the discount broker provides. I am now looking to open brokerage accounts with full service brokers to get institutional-quality research. But, as many of you may know, the quality of research varies from broker to broker, and from analyst to analyst. I would really appreciate any input/insight from any of you who have experience with full-service brokers or analysts as to the ones that provide the best coverage for the following types of stocks: networking (e.g. CSCO); semiconductors (e.g. INTC, TXN, AMAT); wireless equipment (e.g. QCOM, LU); PCs and servers (e.g. CPQ, DELL), internet-related (e.g. ATHM, BCST). I am posting this message on all the relevant stock boards, so I apologize if any of you encounter this same post on the other boards. Thanks in advance. DPK
