OT******************** Thanks Richie, this was a hard lessons to take, I want to hop back on CPQ as soon as I can, but I feel I've lost too much on all these foolish trades to let go of this stock right now...I just hope the internet craze still has some momentum left...With the holidays upcoming, and COOL being part of an online shopping mall, I can at least hope the stock will give me a 20% profit at which point I'll thank my stars, sell and buy CPQ again...I shoulda never sold CPQ in the first place, it'll be at $80 by next year for sure.

Richie, It is nice of you to share that with others. Sometimes losing money can make you a better trader. When it comes to options sometimes the worst thing that can happen is a first successful trade. Then many go broke trying to duplicate it. I can only agree, there are no once in a lifetime opportunities in the stock market, just one in a lifetime losses. The market is great and I love investing but I always stay diversified and I never think to myself this is once in a lifetime opportunity. IMO there is always opportunity in this market and one should just take it easy and stay diversified. Dale
