For once we agree... I have traded CPU before and always come out ahead. It has been REALLY beaten down lately because of lower earnings, and may be in a little trouble now, but still a very good stock. PC sales may be in a slump, and their troubles may not be over - they may not have hit bottom, but when they do it'll be a solid buy. NOT what I'd consider a daytrade or even a short term play, but you're right it's a good long term pick... from a few weeks ago: "Computer superstore company CompUSA (NYSE:CPU - news) got clocked today for a $1 3/4 loss to $6 3/8 after announcing that third quarter same-store sales will decline in the high single-digit percentage range. Combined with the cost of other initiatives, the company expects to report a loss of a few pennies per share for the quarter. Additionally, CompUSA is forecasting a loss in the fourth quarter "based on current business trends." Analysts, believing one of those trends is a slowdown in corporate computing products spending, lowered their opinions of the company today, with at least four brokerages issuing downgrades. However, the array of assets the company has -- both virtual and hard assets -- is of interest to at least one Fool, as described in today's Fool Plate Special " MG
