I have read this optimistic scenario too many times. The fact is, CPQ has been dead money for almost a year. I own a bunch of CPQ that has gone nowhere and I don't see that changing soon. The guys at CPQ are too pre-occupied with being the biggest PC maker than implementing sound marketing decisions. $10000.00 invested in DELL or GATEWAY has almost doubled in just one year, but CPQ is still a little over the initial investment. I am disillusioned with this stock and will sell all of my holdings with an uptick. No matter what your time horizon may be, your investment goals will only be achieved with a reasonable appreciation in value. Even on days that other stocks post substantial gains, CPQ remains same. ben
