I owned CPQ using the same logic you are using. Since I owned Dell at the same time I watched both very closely. I kept thinking it was just a matter of time before CPQ would take off and I'd have the first and second horses in the race. I finally got tired of it right around the $35 mark when it became very apparent to me my Dell dollars were growing much quicker (this was after months of ownership.) Since very few people expect CPQ to report good numbers and the general consensus is Dell will have a great report I think the odds are far greater with Dell. As for people being defensive on this thread, I don't believe I've encountered a thread where the investors do not stand up for their investment. On the other hand I've seen a lot of patience demonstrated on this thread. I've noticed a tendancy to get a little more aggressive when people challenge the ligitmacy of Dell without furnishing a reasonable amount of support for the view. If you take into consideration a lot of the taunting that occurs by random visitors during down cycles ( people are losing money on paper...some of it big bucks) it is only human nature to be a little more edgy with a response. JMHO, T.R. P.S. HOPE Y'ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND...I'M OUTTA' HERE!!!!
