Looks Like a bottom may be put in, right here. When things look the worst and this stock already beaten up so badly the news is probably already in the price! Dennis

We all make mistakes Bill. Like the one I made by not buying COST at 47 when you recommended it. At least you didn't put CPU in the thread header. Maybe it will get down to absurdly low levels for those looking for a bargain. Hang in there.

Bill, you started the new thread so you would have the flexibility to admit mistakes and move on. No big deal. I made $$$ on IFMX, now I'll be down a bit on CPU until it recovers. Good news was I found some ZONA at E*Trade to short. The world will look brighter tomorrow after CPU opens and settles at a new base price. Life goes on.

Well, I've made a few dinars from some of your idea's. I didn't take this one because I've used two CompUSA stores and had the same problems in each one. No one knows anything, no one has time to wait on you, and getting out is like leaving the national security agency with 6 briefcases with the security guards looking at everything. Also the stores are never clean. And the price can be beat 1/2 mile down the road at Best Buy. What else-- oh yeah, the demo machines are always broken. So--I never understood how this one could make it. But, all in all, I've always paid attention to what you suggest. Biodoc

I made a terrible mistake on this one folks. This is a first on Silicon Investor. To my knowledge, no one has ever admitted making a mistake here. I have seen posts about vicious market makers manipulating stocks against the brilliant choices of the people posting, but no admitted mistakes. I had always assumed that I was the only one making mistakes, and that everyone else posting was an undiscovered Warren Buffett. Bill, you are to be congratulated on your candor. If it makes you feel any better, I can tell you that I lost one whole hell of a lot more than your CPU trade on three separate occasions last year.

Bill I like a man who stands up and admits he made a mistake. I have bookmarked your site. I know nothing about you do you have a web site or anything telling of your past successes? dawg
