Here's hoping for the best. From everything I can get my hands on, I believe CPQ will NOT preannounce. I am following a hunch. To me, the downside in CPQ at ~ $30 a share is fairly small, though the impact it would have on my other holdings would be significant by any measure. Sometimes you have to go out on a limb in this market and take "smart chances". I view the PC sector and CPQ's stock as a good bet right now. I guess I play too much Blackjack once in a while, but when the dealer is showing a 6 and I have eleven, I double down. To me, this rout of the PC sector is more a reaction to what DELL started and less about PC sales in general. It's a risk worth taking. Besides, my AOL is making me a fortune!!!! Teflon
