El, the article is interesting (I read it a few years ago when it first came out), but the obvious question is this: >> has to say about exactly what CPQ is doing. What are you smoking???? CPQ doesn't trade on the NASDAQ and doesn't have market-makers !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It trades on the New York Stock Exchange (that's where Maria reports from if you didn't know) and has a specialist...it is an auction system rather than a market-maker system.... The article applies to many stocks discussed here (a good clue is that if a stock symbol has 4 or 5 letters it is probably traded on the NASDAQ stock exchange and therefore DOES have market-makers), but NOT TO CPQ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajajaja Jimbo.
