Kenya AA...If an Intel conference call suggests a higher than expected number of chip sales or new products which would lead to higher than expected computer sales, I wonder if there will be much profit taking in CPQ. (???) Compared to the rest of the market CPQ is still somewhat of a value stock. Loki

Kenya, Thanks for the reply. I understand the caveats because it's simply a part of playing this game. We all do the best we can given what we learn or think we have learned. In the end, I see the message thread as a big library of information, and also as an opportunity for a group of people with a similar interest to collectively process fear and emotion! Your input, and the input of everyone else on this thread is valuable to me because each person is taking the time and energy to share with others, even though for some it's probably purely mercenary in nature. I don't own anywhere near the same amount of shares that you and others to, but the amount I do hold is quite a bit of money to me. After being under water on CPQ for so long, I'm just a little hesitant about pulling the trigger again after having my heart broken for over a year. In the end, I'm a strong believer in CPQ, because as I mentioned to El one time I was actually a young, green MBA at Texas Instruments in 1981 when the core founders of CPQ left TI to form "Gateway Technologies", which, by the way, was the original name of the company. Thanks again for your reply, and have a nice evening. Jeff
