El, We have learned that when CPIGQ is in a nose dive, posting does little to help it. In fact when it was in the mid 20's, we were looking for the bottom to buy more. I think rudedog got the prize for lowest purchase at around $23. I bought a little to soon at $25 and was looking for a real killer buy at $20. Different mentality from Dell, and it is a different situation. We were at the bottom and looking for bargains, they are at the top and might need to get out. Come to think of it, rudedog may be pulling the same move with Dell that he pulled with CPQ. Selling high and buying back low. Tomorrow will be interesting. NW
