Stephen, if 20-40 points matter to you NOW, you should wait. If you want to go long term, it does not matter when to buy.

WHAT a finish, CMGi!

stephen, i don't know what to say - we've had quite a RUN - what i do when i want to get into a stock that i see has had quite a run is to buy just half the amount i really want - if the stock runs, then at least i'm in OTHERWISE, i will average down later if the price drops

good luck

I think if you watch another month and wonder at what price to buy that you haven't done enough of your own due diligence in determining whether it was fairly valued at the price it currently trades.

There are several possible solutions here:

1. Ask your broker to notify you when he thinks it's a good buy and if he can "get" some shares for you.

2. Put in a limit order at 50% below today's closing. One way or the other, it ought to get executed at pre-split or post-split prices. Just be patient.

3. Figure out if you the "I have a job, a mortgage, and a car payment" school of thought is enough risk for you. Happy as a clam?

4. If you're missing the rollercoaster feeling of euphoria and throwing up on the rider behind you, then step right on in. We have a seat waiting for you.

I said this over 100 points ago: You snooze, you lose!

All kidding aside, Stephen, is there any "right" time to buy a stock?

Best regards,

Mark A. Petereson

Depending on how the markets respond to the CPQ news on Monday, you may get a buying opportunity.

If you are more aggressive then you may do even better later in the week.
