Henry.... good post! I agree with you and will hold as the bottom must be in the low 20s. I'm not about to buy an internet stock or any stock at an all time high only to see it correct and further deplete my life's savings. CPQ will recover and those with the patience to stay the course will get their $$$ back. El

Thank you for responding so thoughtfully. I have a couple of others that have turned me into an "involuntary" long term investor. And I've sold some and wish I hadn't. And then there's a company that I bought shares in because they are right across the street from my company (OCLI) and seemed to have good fundamentals(whatever that means these days) which has mysteriously gone from 19 to 50-54 in a few months. At least I'm not emotionally upset by Compaq. I still don't know what I'll do, but won't sell into the open. Maybe. By the way I just noticed something about a class action suit that includes the date when I got in. This is probably old stuff to you guys, but I've been out of the country, and would appreciate any explanation and comments. Thanks
