Spirit: CPQ - Need to be careful about jumping on stocks that start stringing bad quarters. I love Compaq and they are still one of my favorite long stocks here but they have a LOT of work ahead. And like you said, I am too impatient to hold many longs. I have traded CPQ many times this year and it had a nice run to 50 recently before the preannouncement....the first time. 9 mos. may not be enough time for them, but that is a decent time frame to start with. You mention a couple of my other favorites in BKS and AFCI. NAVR was one of my top picks but management caused me to look elsewhere, they are playing with investors and I don't care for it. Management that doesn't follow through is a bad sign. Still, they have good upside here. No offense taken, each person is responsible for their own actions and to what extent they want to listen. Can't be thin skinned and be willing to go out on a limb with thoughts.....someone is always bound to disagree or pick a bad entry, or more often.....not know when to dump and move on. Trade well. Tj
