Thread, I use www.freerealtime.com for real time quotes. The extended quotes gives average trade size for the day. So far today (2:25 pm CDT) the average trade size is 2290 shares. This is the largest I have seen- I try to monitor this daily. On an "average" day this would only be about 1600-1800. To me this says that the big shooters are in here buying quality in a down market. The small investor is waiting out the storm (I sold mine Friday @ 33 3/4) while the institutions continue to buy CPQ. I am really amazed how well CPQ has held up. If not for the down market, we surely would have broke through 35 by now. I am looking to get back in very quick. All comments regarding the large average trade size are appreciated. Good Luck TB

Speaking of chips, was anyone else on the PaineWebber call yesterday? Walter Winnitzki was talking up Compaq, and for the second time in the last few months, he alluded to a forthcoming Compaq/AMD alliance. He was very fuzzy on the details, but seemed to be saying Compaq would come out with a box that integrated Alpha and an AMD K7 chip, so as better to compete against Merced (i.e., RISC + x86 compatibility). It sounds a bit far-fetched to me but, as I say, PW's been talking about this since early May.
